Looks like being a quality renewal with many King George pretenders such as Master Minded, Captain Chris, Medermit & Somersby squaring up.
I think Medermit is being under-estimated by a lot of people this year and could win this at a decent price.
Any thoughts?

Think CC is the obvious one tbh as he would have won lto giving weight away to Medermit. If the ground is decent and he jumps well i'd expect him to win.
Master Minded better when it is Soft. |
|
By:
Pretty much agree with sint, though I expect a vastly improved Master Minded this time out.
|
|
By:
Think if truth was told Master Minded was never being aimed at Aintree and was a total afterthought. Poor run but I think he will bounce back this week if he runs.

Why hasn't this been priced up yet

By:
Prices up ..
2/1 MM 9/4 CC 7/2 Somersby 7/1 Medermit |

By:
Only priced up by 4 firms
 Master Minded will surely find this far more difficult than his romp in last years event. If The Sawyer lines up you would expect them to go a good clip here, which would surely suit his main rivals far more. If anyone goes 4/1+ about Somersby then he would be the bet for me. Ran an absolute blinder in last Seasons VC Chase @ Ascot going down a Sh to Master Minded. The extra couple of furlongs should be ideal and he has less to prove than the second season chasers imo |

Kalahari King's a decent price at the weights.

You need to overcome the Henrietta factor apieceofcake.
4.5% strike rate over last 2 years. |

By:
That does not worry me one bit.
The only horse in her yard that I'm interested in atm is Somersby, he bolted up a few weeks back and she has not done too badly with him tbf. |
|
By:
i expect 5/2 on MM on the day with ruby not there
and ill be betting large  |
|
By:
For me, Somersby should be running in Betfair Chase at Haydock on Sat.
|
|
By:
i expect il be going in large on master minded too. i think hes a cut above these
|
|
By:
I also hope to see MM return to his best but I would have preferred to see Noel Fehily on board. Nothing against DJ but NF really seemed to get on well with him last year. Much tougher than last years renewal though. Not a Somersby fan, can't see Medermit beating MM, but Capt Chris would be the biggest danger for me
|
|
By:
yeah i think its between the top 2 in the market too!
|
|
By:
MM for me
|
|
By:
yep would like to see somersby stepped up to 3m
|
|
By:
Master Minded will start 11/10, 5/4 when the final decs come out !!!!!
|
|
By:
Why is everyone writing Medermit off?
|
|
By:
For me too much is being read into MM`s win at Aintree and i`ll be looking to oppose him.
|
|
By:
Somersby of interest to me too. And is entered in the KG on Boxing Day btw, around 20/1 on here I think.
Very interesting to me. (I've been wrong before though!) |
|
By:
bluebirdfan. In my case its because Capt Chris would have beaten Medermit at Exeter had RJ stayed on board. Now Capt Chris is 7lbs better off and race fit. Add to that I believe a back to form MM beats all, then Medermit is fighting out 3rd with Somersby IMO
|
|
By:
Are you sure Captain Chris is race fit?
|
|
By:
I would imagine he should be fitter for the first outing. Although the KG seems to be the main target at the moment I can't see why he would turn up for this less than race fit, and certainly can't see him being less fit than he was at Exeter and he should have won there
|
|
By:
I like Somersby also, but was I alone in expecting him to be bigger than 7/2?
|
|
By:
Somersby much better right handed and could be a good price on the day. Doesn't have much to find with Master Minded and good ground will be no hindrance. The horse he beat at Kempton is no slouch and this could well be his season.
|
|
By:
Captain Chris all the way for me.Should be favourite imo.
|
|
By:
He is in some books CCM. If he has a clear round he should go very close under ideal conditions but i've never been convinced by his jumping so i'lllet him go.
Somersby may become a bet if 9/2 or so becomes available. |
|
By:
Do you still think Captain Chris is race fit ?
|
|
By:
cc needs to jump better than lto
|
|
By:
not running i thought?
|
|
By:
He is not running.
|
|
By:
ffs

Have to say having watched this on the tv from haydock, I don't really fancy either Masterminded or Somersby to get 3 miles. From a selfish point of view I would like to see Masterminded go there as I want them to save Kauto for the GC. Also I have MM in my TTF. Somersby I remain unconvinced by over any trip. I still say 2 miles is his optimum he's just not top class
|
|
By:
My turn to agree with you RNL - I also didn't get the impression MM will stay 3 m - and he'll have to because he doesn't find much off the bridle these days.
|
|
By:
i think mm will stay 3!
|
|
By:
Reve, what makes you think that out of interest? I thought both MM & Somersby finished tired over 2m3 today. Kempton may be the track to do it on, but I have serious doubts.
