7/2 ALBUHERA BACKED FOR CHANDLER

jason

26th January 2006

This weekend’s racing is under threat from the freezing temperatures, but Cheltenham are ‘60-40’ at the time of writing, so hopefully we’ll get to see Saturday’s star-studded card, and in particular the Victor Chandler Chase (2.10). Betting has really heated up over the last few days, and Albuhera, in particular, has been the subject of strong support. He’s now
7/2 favourite (from 11/2), and this prolific hurdler (who has taken really well to fences his term) should be involved at the finish.

However, his lack of experience could find him out in this hot contest, and he doesn’t look good value now. Problem is most of his opponents have question marks against them too. Second favourite, Dempsey, is almost certainly better going right-handed, while the progressive Town Crier ran poorly on his only previous visit to the track.
