    Grassy reckon the prices they are offering on Oddschecker are not the prices they are actually offering

    I was looking trying to find the proper ones on their website but gave up

    Bits of blue around for Min for this tonight ? Might just be people taking a chance that with Douvan reportedly on his way back to the Champion Chase that Min might get switched ? Can't see that myself but thought it worth a mention.

    Anyone backing Min for this, deserves to do their brains.

    I'll do my brains if he was switched here! I'm balls deep for the QMCC E/W and in win multiples, and have sufficient cover for the Ryanair. If he went here I'd be devastated!! So much so I'm considering sickness insurance right now

    All you will do is dilute your current positions, if you pointlessly back him for this.

    Any blue on Oddschecker is likely down to additional outfits going NRNB, and cutting the horse accordingly. No way he runs here - not a chance.

    I agree Grass but I just thought I'd flag it up anyway.

    Min has to be the biggest mystery out there have no idea how much chasing has improved him or not.

    Al Ferof kicked Sprinter's ass (still a baby at the time) in the Supreme but couldn't live with him once matured and switched to fences.

    Min's a cracking horse and I can understand why someone would back him.......BUT Altior has a ton in hand on form

    If Douvan goes they will run them both in the QMCC which they already stated

    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    I'd say Ryanair...........no other race for him at the Festival, except maybe the Champion Hurdle, and I can't see him running there.

    Just to come back to this question...

    I've crunched some numbers and I'm getting mixed messages.

    The going on the chase course on Saturday was officially heavier than on the hurdles course but it's the chases that are throwing up the better times.

    I've experimented with a few things and the only one that's making sense is the relative form between Elgin and Flying Tiger so for the time being I'm going to go along with low ratings for the race. I have Elgin coming out a pound higher than before but it obviously means Everything else has under-performed.

    As far as the expected comparison with Standard goes, it looks like they should have been able to get round in 3m 41s.

    The Road To The 2018 Champion Hurdle

    Yorkhill 60/40 to Rock up here according to reports from Mullins media morning. He feels he’d be an easier ride.

    Had my suspicions that would be the case every time he's talked about him before and after chases he's said I always thought he was a Champion Hurdle horse. Would be hard to fancy him for anything the way he ran the last day but excluding Buveur Dair the race is weaker than hospital tea.
