Bechers Chase Odds
The Bechers Chase Odds for this years Bechers Chase betting steeplechase at Aintree has the Paul Nicholls trained, Mr Pointment as favourite for a race which he won in 2007. The race over three and a quarter miles over the Grand National fences is one of the major Grand National trials of the Autumn, the winner here will be likely favourite for the big race in April.
Mr Pointment was among the favourites for the Grand national last year, but he didn't seem to quite stay the trip, but still ran a grand race to finish 6th, Nicholls thinks he can improve on that in 2008 and he is expecting his horse to run a big race in this. Sam Thomas will take the ride due to the Ruby Walsh being out injured., Nicholls will also run Gungadu
