2017 King George VI Chase Betting Tips PT 2

It’s worth keeping your eye on him since you know they’re going to be pointing towards this one with a more limited and selective campaign from him than you definitely saw last time out. There is a lot to like about his ability and the horses in the mix here shouldn’t bother him if he can run to his absolute best once again at Kempton.

You’ll find Thistlecrack trading anywhere from a 3/1 all the way up to a 4/1 margin and with him declared for the race that’s a pretty good set of odds to be able to play with a month out.

Sizing John just made headlines today after being withdrawn from the upcoming Betfair Chase due to ground that looks to be heavier than what they want him to deal with this early in the season. His price for the upcoming King George - which many believe is the likely destination for him if they aren’t really in a rush for a race - has gone up a little bit with a price now as high as 5/1 up from a 4/1 high just a few days ago.

Seeing him capture the Betfair Chase certainly would have stood him in good stead to head into the Gold Cup as a justifiable favourite to repeat but it looks like they are more than willing to take their time with him right now.

The odds then take a pretty solid jump up to Fox Norton who trades around a 10/1 margin while Douvan can be backed at a similar price but is likely to opt for a different race. Djakadam is a plausible each-way contender and you can lock him down at a 16/1 price right now with a number of top bookmakers.
