Horse Antepost

Favourite is class act here - and clearly the one to beat - but don't trust the trainer as he does pull horses out
Can't believe price Air mad 9/4 not sure why he is being backed as I thought he was being aimed at further? Albeit he like Ascot but did lose his way a bit last time and then Gallantly redeem himself, that run was very off putting...
I like SIRE DE GRUGY - stand out 8/1 - maybe he won't turn up but was 2nd in the race last year and did give the favourite a run for his money 2 runs ago... hopefully will be declared today!
Good LUck

Erm ill retract my retraction....
 - didn't want to post something where punters might lose... but ill back him whether he runs or not (trainer makes decision tom)... but for me 8s is way too tempting.. Latest bulletin GARY MOORE could be double-handed in Saturday's Berkshire Community Foundation Clarence House Chase at Ascot after Sire De Grugy and Ar Mad featured among eight confirmations for the £125,000 Grade 1. Nicky Henderson's star novice Altior, a red-hot ante-post favourite for the Racing Post Arkle, was the only defector at the five-day stage. Moore last week suggested Sire De Grugy, winner of the Champion Chase in 2014, would wait for Newbury's Game Spirit Chase next month. However, the trainer left the 11-year-old in the Clarence House on Monday and a gallop on Tuesday morning will likely determine if he lines up alongside stablemate Ar Mad. Moore said on Monday: "I need to speak to Sire's owners. I need to gallop him in the morning and it might be coming too soon after he unseated at Kempton last time. "I might give him a bit more time to come to himself, but I won't know until tomorrow." Defending champion The ante-post betting is headed by last year's winner Un De Sceaux, who is a top price of 4-5 with Betway. Willie Mullins' representative got the better of a thrilling tussle with Sire De Grugy to win the Tingle Creek last time, but bookmakers rate Ar Mad, who was an eyecatching fourth in that race, as his main danger on Saturday. Ar Mad has been priced up as the 2-1 second favourite, while Sire De Grugy is an 8-1 chance. Should Sire De Grugy run it may mean Moore's son Jamie rides him, instead of Ar Mad, the regular mount of another of the trainer's sons Josh, who is sidelined with a shoulder injury. However, Moore would not be drawn on jockey bookings. Dodging Bullets, Eastlake, Royal Regatta and Top Gamble are the other possibles. |

iris - why did you find ar mad's last run off putting??
|

By:
His jumping went to pot during the race - he was all over the place. He ran on really well to snatch 4th and only 3.5 lenghts behind... but I think he set a blistering pace... and that did his chances... they were going to supplement him for the King George which indicates they thought he would be better over further... that didn't happen
So not so convinced the race here is suited. Him or Sire De Grugy over 2m - it would be SDG |

SDG not running :(

Meeting almost certain to be off so you may get your money back, or they may reopen it with 5 day decs standing if rescheduled for next week and SDG may run?

All over Ar Mad at 2/1. To be dropped into a Tingle Creek on a seasonal reappearance following an injury and finish 3.5l behind UDS after having made a number of uncharacteristic jumping errors is an encouraging run, it certainly isn't off putting.
In short, I think this horse is an absolute beast and to watch him attack his fences the way he does is a joy to behold. |

This is going to be off. If the bah had any sense, after knowing the state of the course...frozen and the weather forecast, they could have transferred the race to Haydock...odds on to be rescheduled for Cheltenham next week.
