    RSA Chase Betting
    The big story has been the problems with the lameness of Punchestowns, currently 7/2 with Stan James.

As a result Long Run is now favourite at 11/4 with Stan James but...

    RSA Chase Tips – Weapon’s Amnesty a threat
    Weapon’s Amnesty did nothing wrong with a good second in the Dr P J Moriarty Chase and I thought he ran a perfectly respectable RSA Chase trial as the drop down in trip would not suit this strong stayer and he also much prefers decent ground so the testing surface would have also been against him. He did take a while again for his jumping to warm to the task which...
