29/10/16 3:20 Wetherby - System (Charlie Hall Chase)





1st Cue Card 8/11 - 85
2nd Blaklion 11/2 - 80
3rd Virak 8/1 - 45
3rd Menorah 10/1 - 45

This looks like it could be a 2 horse race, and Blaklion could be a real danger to Cue Card. Cue Card is more effective on good-soft or soft 17 runs in these conditions and 11 wins. Where as he has only won 3 of his 11 runs on good. Cue Card won this race last year but he was getting 10lb from Many Cloud an Menorah. This time he is giving weight away. No doubt he is the best horse in the race, and he jumps like a dream, except his only UR and F have come on good ground. Might be coincidence, might not.

No doubting that Blaklion's connections are in great form at the moment.  The RSA winner comes here with definite place claims at least. He is 3 wins from 4 on good. Has never been out the places in Grade 2 company in 6 runs. Winning 3 of them. The track will also suit and a big run can be expected. .

Menorah is also a previous winner but he is getting on now, i am sure he will give a good account of himself.

Viraks connections are in form and he could pick up some prize money

Although i will stick with my system, i think Blaklion can go very well and is much better value, and would not put you off.

My Selection: Cue Card 8/11 (RFC with Blaklion)
