Let’s not forget 2010 winner Binocular (7/1 Paddy Power) who missed the 2011 race at the last minute.2012 Queen Mother Champion Chase – Wednesday 14th March 2012Two mile chasers battling it out at Prestbury Park doesn’t get any better and Sizing Europe is a 7/1 chance with Sportingbet to claim another Queen Mother title, with Henry de Bromhead’s horse having also won the Arkle in 2010. Big Zeb is a 13/1 chance with Paddy Power.2012 World Hurdle – Thursday 15th March 2012Big Buck’s will be going for a four-timer in a year’s time and Victor Chandler are the only firm brave enough to lay 2/1 about the Paul Nicholls-trained horse, although Grands Crus is open to more improvement and can be backed at 6/1 with Paddy Power. 2012 Gold Cup – Friday 16th March 2012Perhaps Imperial Commander is a value bet at 16/1 with Paddy Power, with the 2010 champion bursting a blood vessel during the 2011 Gold Cup. That allowed Long Run to take centre stage and the horse is 3/1 with Blue Square to claim another victory in twelve months’ time.Sign up for the latest Cheltenham news by joining our Cheltenham mailing list.
