Dissecting The Favourites To Win The Queen Mother Champion Chas

The function race on day 2 of the Cheltenham Festival, the Queen Mother Champion Chase, guarantees to be a remarkable contest, with an incredibly 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 easy to see why the six-year-old has actually attracted such strong assistance in the wagering, having travelled to a dominant 19-length victory in his most current trip 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 dominate, it would mark yet another winning favourite in the day's function race, following Lossiemouth's commanding success in the Champion Hurdle the other day.

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


With the exception of a disappointing showing at Ascot previously this year, where he fell 2 out, Il Etait Temps had remained in excellent type, 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 business.


Meanwhile, L'Eau Du Sud has been strong without being spectacular in recent times, recording two wins, two third-place finishes and a fourth throughout his last five starts.


Despite that a little irregular run of outcomes, he looked particularly impressive at Cheltenham last time out, winning a Grade 2 contest there last November by an emphatic 15 lengths from a gifted field that of Jonbon, Matata and Edwardstone.


While the three favourites make certain to control the betting discussion, there's plenty to see in other places in the field, with complete odds for the remainder of the runners listed below.
