Take Advantage of the Odds for Kalahari King in Melling Chase

Not only does the Melling Chase at Aintree on Friday look to be the best quality race on the three day card, it has the potential to be one of the best races of the season, with the first two home in the Ryanair Chase, Albertas Run and Poquelin taking each other on again while at the same timehaving to face the second and third home in the Champion Chase, Forpadydaplasterer and Kalahari King. It is little wonder therefore that the Bet365 Bookmakers has the betting very close between the four.

Currently it is the Champion Chase twosome who head the betting, with both Forpadydaplasterer and Kalahari King both at 4/1, while Albertas Run and Poquelin are at 5s.

The race which is run over the Ryanair distance of 2m4f in theory should suit Albertas Run and Poquelin, but there are few who would doubt the ability of ‘Forpady’ and ‘Kalahari’ to get the extra half mile.

Melling Chase Odds Comparison.

Jonjo O’Neill, trainer of Albertas Run has stated that his horse has come out of his Cheltenham win in great form and is ready to race, while Paul Nicholls is equally bullish about Poquelin, who he believes will improve. One thing for sure is that the drying ground at Aintree will aid Kalahari King no end and although he is trying the extra half mile for the first time there is no doubt in the stable that he will get it.

Amazingly, Forpadydaplasterer, has been second in every race since he won the Grade One, Arkle trophy at the 2009 Cheltenham Festival, where he short headed Kalahari King to win the race. Despite this he has lost none of his racing zest and he remains a top class individual with plenty left to come and he is sure to go close in this.

For our money however we are going to back Kalahari King at 4/1 with bet365. He has always looked like he would get the extra distance and can come from behind with blistering pace. His trainer, Ferdy Murphy has been very bullish about him and has kept him lightly raced throughout the winter hoping to take advantage of the good ground conditions usually associated with the Spring.
