MONKFISH WINS! BUT WHO CHASES HIM HOME?

13:55 - Brown Advisory Novices' Chase Lets keep this simple Monkfish wins. He was bought as Gold Cup horse by Rich Ricci and he looks every bit that good. It's all about who will finish in the places.

For me there's been too much hype over Dickie Diver's comeback run, it wasn't a strong race and now comes here against experienced rivals.

The ground has gone too quick for Sporting John.

Fiddlerontheroof needs to improve 6lbs at least to place here which doesn't look likely.

Eklat De Rire could improve and has showed plenty so far, however he looks best suited by really soft ground which he won't get.

I've really liked The Big Breakaway and have seen plenty there to suggest Cheltenham suits him well. Ground won't be a worry and Eldorado Allen ran a huge race for the yard on day one suggesting they're back in form. Write this horse off at your peril. He could be anything.
