Energumene who made a smart seasonal return as we expected winning the Grade Two Hillyway Chase for a second year by 15 lengths, never having to get out of first gear to take the race, his cruising speed was enough to see off a very average field.
Having already been the strong favourite to retain his Champion Chase title at 6/4 before the race on Sunday, he is now best priced at even money, with most firms having him odds on.
A superstar Grade One winning two mile chaser over the last two seasons winning eight of hi last nine events over fences and he should be very tough to beat come March.
