03/02/18 1:45 Leopardstown - System

1st Min 13/8 - 85
2nd Yorkhill 11/10 - 65
3rd Balleycasey 40/1 - 50

No surprise to see the Mullins horses dominate here. What might surprise most is that Yorkhill didnt come top, but maybe not a surprise to me.

Yorkhill is much better than these here, but the thing is, he isnt a good chaser. Yes he is good but jumps remarkedly to his left which in races its not ideal, especially top class races. Yes he won the JLT against Politologue and Top Notch, but in this race they will go fast and he has to be accurate. 3 miles as well as he got tired he went even further to the left. As i said here they will go quite quick so will need to skip over those fences and will not want to lost ground. He is the horse to beat, but if he jumps left Min will be in the wings. He is dropping donw considerably in distance, and the only reason he is coming here is because they want a runner in the Champion Chase.

Min came 2nd in the Supreme to Altior at Cheltenham over hurdles and in front of Buveur D'air, he then went chasing, and was unbeaten until last time out when being beaten by Simply Ned. Although he came home just in front he did interfere. I think he could probably beat him easily today with the shorter distance.

My Selection: Min 13/8
