Dissecting The Favourites To Win The Queen Mother Champion Chas

The feature race on day 2 of the Cheltenham Festival, the Queen Mother Champion Chase, guarantees to be an unforgettable contest, with an extremely gifted field lining up for the two-mile masterpiece.


Majborough heads into the race as the favourite, with the Willie Mullins-trained runner improved from 4/5 to 7/4 with Sky Bet.


It's simple to see why the six-year-old has actually drawn in such strong assistance in the wagering, having actually travelled to a dominant 19-length triumph in his latest outing at Leopardstown last month.


Majborough also boasts strong course type, with the gelding landing the Grade 1 Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham in 2024.


Should he prevail, it would mark yet another winning favourite in the day's feature race, following Lossiemouth's commanding success in the Champion Hurdle the other day.

In the betting, Il Etait Temps and L'Eau Du Sud complete the 3 market leaders, priced at 3/1 and 11/2 respectively.


With the exception of a frustrating revealing at Ascot earlier this year, where he fell two out, Il Etait Temps had actually been in form, winning 5 straight races prior to that by a combined margin of more than 43 lengths, four of which can be found in Grade 1 company.


Meanwhile, L'Eau Du Sud has actually been solid without being amazing in recent times, recording two wins, 2 third-place finishes and a 4th across his last 5 starts.


Despite that slightly inconsistent run of results, he looked particularly outstanding at Cheltenham last time out, winning a Grade 2 contest there last November by an emphatic 15 lengths from a skilled field that consisted of Jonbon, Matata and Edwardstone.


While the 3 favourites make certain to dominate the wagering conversation, there's plenty to watch somewhere else in the field, with full odds for the remainder of the runners listed below.
