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, promises to be a memorable contest, with an extremely talented field lining up for the two-mile masterpiece.


Majborough heads into the race as the favourite, with the Willie Mullins-trained runner enhanced 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 betting, having actually travelled to a dominant 19-length success in his most current outing at Leopardstown last month.


Majborough also boasts strong course kind, 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 round out the 3 market leaders, priced at 3/1 and 11/2 respectively.


With the exception of a at Ascot earlier this year, where he fell 2 out, Il Etait Temps had remained in superb type, winning 5 straight races prior to that by a combined margin of more than 43 lengths, four of which came in Grade 1 business.


Meanwhile, L'Eau Du Sud has been solid without being spectacular in recent times, taping two wins, two third-place surfaces and a 4th across his last five starts.


Despite that slightly inconsistent run of results, he looked especially excellent at Cheltenham last time out, winning a Grade 2 contest there last November by an emphatic 15 lengths from a skilled field that consisted of Jonbon, Matata and Edwardstone.


While the 3 favourites make certain to control the wagering conversation, there's plenty to watch in other places in the field, with full odds for the rest of the runners listed below.
