2013 RSA Chase Preview


RSA Chase

In a race which doesn’t look to how have the competitive edge it did at last year’s festival, this will hopefully be the race where our best bet of Cheltenham 2013 will come up, however the debate still goes on as to which race Dynaste will run in; RSA or Jewson.

If Dynaste were to go to the RSA some may question whether he will stay, but I am in no doubt what so ever that this is a class horse and the extra trip will only suit him more; look at how he ran at Kempton on boxing day in the mud. He ticks all the boxes, travels well, jumps well and goes on all ground and so far very consistent. One lingering thought which will always be in the back of a punters head though is the dark shadow of Grand Crus…

Boston Bob is an interesting sort; you cannot question his record however every time I watch him he just doesn’t please the eye. His jumping looks like he is trying to take the fence with him but there is no doubt he stays well. His most recent performance really summed it up as he clouted the odd fence and fell back in the field looking well beaten as they turned for home at Leopardstown but he once again slogged it out and stormed home to win by a nose hair.

There is no doubt that Unioniste has immense talent and I know he is very highly thought of down at Ditcheat but I just can’t be having him ahead of Dynaste, however I will be having an EW on the Nicholls horse with the doubt about where Dynaste is heading.  

Hadrians Approach has one win under his belt from his four races this season but the form adds up as he was then defeated twice; firstly by Dynaste then by Unioniste at Newbury a few weeks ago, although he did come very close.

Advise: Regardless of what race Dynaste goes in; the RSA or the Jewson he is my idea of a festival banker. Finding value is hard enough with only a week until the festival but it wouldn’t surprise if this horse is at evens or shorter on the day. Take the price while you can and load them canons!
Unioniste at 6/1 is cracking EW value as we may see Dynaste go to the Jewson, if so Unioniste price will be cut and without doubt backed into a price of around 3’s. Take it while you can!

Dynaste 5/2  Paddypower (RSA)
Dynaste 3/1 William Hill (Jewson)
Unioniste 6/1 EW Ladbrokes
