Fistral Beach has been installed as the 9/2 fav (Totesport) for the Skybet Chase at Doncaster after 29 were left in at the six-day stage.
Paul Nicholls’ Take The Breeze heads the weights after the champion trainer took the likes of The Tother One, Breedsbreeze, Taranis, Pasco and Meanus Dandy out of the race which leaves Blazing Bailey, Calgary Bay and Presenting Forever next in the market at 10/1.
“Fistral Beach seems to have turned over a new leaf after he filled the runner-up spot on several occasions last season and he could well have a big handicap in him this season judged on his Wincanton win last time out,” said totesport spokesman George Primarolo.
Over at Wetherby this afternoon, Alfie Sherrin made short work of the totesport.com Irish Day – Saturday 5th February Novices’ Chase and has been cut to 20/1 (from 33/1) for the RSA Chase at Cheltenham.
Looking ahead to the Festival, Kalahari King has been popular for the Ryanair Chase following his encouraging run behind Master Minded at Ascot on Saturday and is 12/1 (from 16/1) with totesport behind 9/2 favourite Poquelin.
