Altior in CC

Just seen NH has put his brave pants on and entered Altior in the champion chase, does he know something we dont?

Just spreading the entries around I would imagine. Aside from Douvan the CC is fairly weak. If he doesn't make it then the race is much more open. Lots of horses have multiple entries.

Isnt he in the Arkle as well? I think Ar Mad is in the CC as well as other entries.

That was my point does he know something. As last week he was very adamant he wouldnt.

Did he not say if Douvan doesn't run he will go CC, if he does he will go in the Arkle? Sensible decision imo, a bit like giving something entries in the Ryanair and Gold Cup on the off chance that Thistlecrack doesn't run.
