2015 BETFAIR CHASE BETTING PREVIEW

SILVINIACO CONTI beat Long Run in this in 2012 and Menorah last year, finishing third in 2013. The Dom Alco gelding again failed in his bid to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup, fading into seventh behind Coneygree, but resumed winning ways when beating Ballynagour to win the Betfred Bowl at Aintree. On seasonal reappearance, Paul Nicholl's finished second to Brother Tedd over hurdles at Kempton on November 2.

CUE CARD won the 2013 Betfair Chase and made a winning comeback in the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby last month. The nine-year-old tends to struggle with races that have a fast-paced start and this weakness has seen him losing five of his last seven races by more than 10 lengths.

DYNASTE has finished second and third in this race in the last two years, but he hasn’t been able to claim victory in his last six attempts. A recent race in the Charlie Hall Chase saw this horse finishing runner-up behind Cue Card. Prior to this race, he failed to place in the Carmarthen Grade 3 Hurdle at Auteuil last month but he was heavily impeded.

David Pipe also runs BALLYNAGOUR, a horse who landed the Byrne Group Plate at the Cheltenham Festival and ended runner-up to Sizing Europe in the Boylesports.com Champion Chase, both in 2014. A winner over hurdles in France earlier in the season, he made his seasonal return behind Cue Card and Dynaste in the Charlie Hall Chase. This horse appears to put in all his best performances when the going is good, with a hint of soft, and would be somewhat of a surprise winner in this company.

HOLYWELL won four on the spin during his novice season, including at the Cheltenham Festival and at Aintree when landing the Mildmay. The Irish bay gelding put in a great performance at Aintree last year over 25 furlongs, finishing second only to Silviniaco Conti. The high-class hurdler returned to action to post only a fair fifth of seven in the Charlie Hall Chase.
