Betfair Chase Preview 2014

Taq To The Future - Taquin Du Seuil can announce arrival in the big leagues in the Betfair Chase
The first Grade 1 race of the national hunt season will be upon is this Saturday as the Betfair Chase takes place at Haydock.

Responsible for some fabulous races since its inception a little under a decade ago, this year’s renewal looks set to be one of the most informative in a while given how open the staying chase division looks this season.

Won last year by Cue Card in tremendous style, the reigning champ and the two placed horses from last year look set to lock horns again in 2014 with all three currently heading the betting.

It’s the new kid on the block that I like this year though and much like Silviniaco Conti two years ago, the time looks right for a pretender to grab a table with the big boys.
