Predicted Betting: 4/1
He takes his place in the BetMGM Queen Mother Champion Chase a Grade 1 event run over 2 miles. He is much better than his last start when falling two out in the BetMGM Clarence House Chase at Ascot. His stable companion, Maljborough looks to be his biggest danger. Paul Townend will do duty once again and we are hoping to see him produce his best.
