The Champion Chase looks like it could be one of the best races of the season let alone at the Festival with several being fancied to take on Master Minded, who has won the race for the last two years. Master Minded of course is a hot favourite once again this year to claim a hat-trick of wins but with odds of around 10/11 with VC Bet it may be better to look for better value with a runner who has every chance of taking him on.
There has been a significant market move for instance for Kalahari King, who was the recent winner of the very competitive Blue Square Handicap Chase which was his first run of the season. He is therefore lightly raced and in proven good form and running from a stable whose horses are running well. He has class too, having been second last season, behind Forpadydaplasterer in the Arkle trophy Chase. He has been backed into around the 9/2 mark from odds of 8/1 and looks a real threat to the favourite.
Twist Magic, stablemate to Master Minded has been in scintillating form this season, winning both the Tingle Creek and Victor Chandler Chases in tremendous style, if he can reproduce that form here then he simply has to go close. That said, Cheltenham is not his favourite course so there are doubts, but nonetheless he has great value odds of 7/1 with Victor Chandler.
Forpadydaplasterer has also enjoyed some antepost support but on Tingle Creek form he is held by Twist Magic. Winner of the 2009 Arkle, he has proven class and he runs well this time of the year. He has to be in with a good chance of a place with odds of 10/1

The other challenger that should not be ruled out is the Colm Murphy trained Big Zeb, who returned to winning ways at the end of January when taking the Grade 2, Tied Cottage Chase at Punchestown by an impressive 7 lengths from Golden Silver. He is a best price of 9/1.
