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 Buveu

1st Holly Bush Henry 8/1 - 110 2nd Shanroe Santos 11/1 - 95 3rd Final Nudge 9/1 - 85  4th Loose Chips 16/1 - 75 Although it looks closer Holly Bush Henry was VERY impressive in this system and he must come here with a very solid chance. This is a big step up on his last win. But he is cracking form. He is 4 wins from 6 on soft ground, 2/2 with todays jockey, the track will suit and he has won here over hurdles before. He has a good weight, and since being put up in distance to 2m 7f + his stats are 1, 1, 6, 4, 1, 4, 1. His last win was 2lb lower than today, over 1f further than today and on heavy. He ha top weight that day so did well to get up. 8/1 is a good ew price. Shanroe Santos has run a couple of very good races recently on heavy and soft over further than today. He is 2 wins and a place from 4 runs on soft, his best form has always come in February, he is a winner at this track over todays distance. He could go well based on recent form. Loose Chips came 2nd in this
