CHIEF OUT TO 9-2 AFTER CASTLEFORD FALL


Well Chief has been pushed out in the betting for the Queen Mother Champion Chase following his fall in the Castleford Chase at Wetherby today. Well Chief is now 9-2 from 7-2 whle Azertyuiop has been cut to 7-4 from 15-8.


Totesport spokesman Damian Walker said: "This wasn't a disaster for Well Chief's Queen Mother Champion Chase supporters but it does cast a slight doubt about his jumping.


"The Castleford Chase winner Mister McGoldrick has been cut to 25-1 from 50s for the Champion but seems a stone better horse at Wetherby."

Meanwhile, Well Chief's stablemate Control Man remains a 16-1 chance for the Royal & SunAlliance Novice Chase after his win at Exeter today.


Henrietta Knight's Racing Demon is 20-1 from 33s for the Royal & SunAlliance Novice Hurdle after his easy Exeter win.
