Altior is an exception beast of a horse; 18th straight win the majority emphatically; beating everything at this trip. If running here he'd be attempting 20f for the 1st time enroute to beating Big Buck's 18th consecutive wins, and I firmly believe it's with his compass - he ran as if a trip further than 16f would be beneficial in winning his last race in the Champion Chase.
He's 10/11, and would be a lot shorter if turning up, and no show from Cyrname (trainer not wholly enthusiastic); his main target is the King George thus a good prep, if confirmed, and all being well. I'm looking forward to his new assignment, and hopefully a stepping stone to his X'mas objective and beyond. |

Firmed into 4/6 for this, and only 5/1 double for the King George. Let's hope he turns up - win or lose.
