whos the value in the champion chase

last years winner big zeb has done nothing wrong this season  he jumps much better than he used to  and travels well and have backed him at 4s and he must go well i think he is better value than master minded who has also looked good this year but imo big zeb would have beaten him at punchestown 2 years ago but for a blunder at the  last , and  big zeb also beat him in the  champion  chase last year  so at the prices big zeb is the  better value and looks sure to run a huge race ,golden silver is talented but willie mullins has said he is likley to go for the ryanair ,petit robin dosent look good enough he may also take in a differnt race ,forpadydeplasterer  has a bad case of seconditis and something may have been amiss when pulled up in the king george ,woolacoombe folly is improving fast and must rate a danger and at 8-1 he has a big chance but the one to be on at the prices for me is captain cee bee he was about 8 lengths  behind big zeb last time but that was on heavy ground and connections were reported happy with that run and said with better ground they hoped they would  get closer to big zeb i would expect him to be much closer to big zeb at cheltenham  on the likley good/soft ground ,dont forget this  horse beat  the champion hurdler binocular over hurdles at the festival 3 years ago and he is lightly raced and probably has room for more improvement he looked like he was going to beat sizing europe in the irish arkle chase last year when he fell at the last, he reportedley broke a blood vessel when favourite  behind the same horse  in the arkle at the festival last year and will have the champion jockey riding him so at the prices  16 -1 is huge value  imo ,good luck to all
