Punchestown Boylesports Champion Chase Odds: Kalahari King Can Reign

Even without the 2010 Champion Chaser, Big Zeb and the 2008 and 2009 Champion, Master Minded, this Grade 1, Punchestown Champion Chase, looks to be one of , if not the best race of the week. The bookmakers have been given a hard task in creating a market as the top five in this race all have fantastic chances to win. Currently it is the Paul Nicholls trained, Twist Magic and the Ferdy Murphy trained, Kalahari King who head the market, both being quoted at 11/4 with Bet 365

Of course anyone who knows the history of Twist Magic, will know that he is a horse with severe mood swings and if he does not like the course then forget about him. However he won this race two years ago and if he is back to that form and shows the same attitude as he did when winning the Tingle Creek Chase in December, where he had Forpadydaplasterer, 15 lengths behind and the Victor Chandler Chase where he won by a similar distance from Petit Robin, then he will be the horse to beat in this. He will have Champion jockey, AP McCoy on board.

Forpadydaplasterer could easily be regarded as the unluckiest horse around right now having finished second five times in Grade 1 or 2 company this season already. In fact he has not won a race since the 2009 Arkle Trophy at the Cheltenham Festival where he had the fast finishing Kalahari King in second place. He also had Kalahari King behind him the 2010 Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in March, when they were second and third respectively behind Big Zeb. It is interesting therefore that bet365 make Kalahari King the 3/1 second favourite for this race with Forpadydaplasterer a 7/2 chance.

Of course the other big gun in this race is the Henry De Bromhead trained, Sizing Europe, winner of the 2010 Arkle and unbeaten over the five starts over the bigger obstacles. He is also a 7/2 chance with Bet365, but like the other three major protagonists in this race, it will be important to monitor the market, as it is a very difficult race to call.
