3:05pm: Grade 1 Bet365 Celebration Chase
I believe Nicky Henderson will have Altior back in tip-top form. Altior at 11/4, even though I don’t bet, looks a good price. If he returns to anything similar to his old form, he’ll beat this field.
Looking at his rivals, Put The Kettle On has been in fantastic form of late. She’s a top-class mare, a two-time winner at the Cheltenham Festival and the reigning Champion Chaser.
Sceau Royal is very consistent and Greaneteen ran well in his last race coming fourth in the Champion Chase only two lengths behind Put The Kettle On.
Altior would still be my number one pick of the whole fixture. The last time he started at odds this big was over 5 years ago – when I was still a conditional jockey!
