Azertyuiop the answer to Champion conundrum

AZERTYUIOP is the choice to land what promises to be the race of the meeting, the Queen Mother Champion Chase, at Cheltenham this afternoon.

Paul Nicholls' charge has a bit to find with Moscow Flyer, on their running in the Tingle Creek at Sandown in December, but is three years younger than his rival and has more scope for improvement.

That Tingle Creek was a cracking contest. Moscow Flyer beat Azertyuiop by a length and a half, with the young pretender, Well Chief, only a short head further away in third.
