Champion Chase Betting Preview

Race Type: Chase

Distance: 2m

Race Profile: Like a high speed rollercoaster the Queen Mother Champion Chase is a rapid charge over 12 fences. A premium is placed on jumping ability, with speed over the fences critical. Run at such a scorching pace, the race can often be dramatic.

Ten Year Trends:

3 of the last 10 favourites have won.
4 of the last 10 winners had unseated their riders that season.
8 of the last 10 winners had raced at least three times that season.
6 different ages of horse have won the race in the last 10 years.
The average starting price of the winner is 4/1

Race Preview: One of the highlights of the week, Master Minded is favourite for his third Champion Chase. His conquerer of last year, Big Zeb, is back along with fellow Irish raider Golden Silver. After a thrilling duel with Master Minded at Ascot, Somersby sticks to the shorter distance aiming to go one better than in last year’s Arkle. 

Our Verdict: Somersby
