El Fabiolo ticks all of the boxes in the aforementioned key trends and is impossible to oppose in this year’s Champion Chase.
He is unbeaten in nine races for trainer Willie Mullins and heads into his latest outing as one of the hottest favourites of the week on horse racing betting sites.
El Fabiolo finished five lengths clear of market rival Jonbon in the Arkle Chase last year and it would be a major shock if that form was reversed.
Jonbon won three Grade 1 races after that defeat, but produced a disappointing round of jumping when beaten by Elixir De Nutz in the Clarence House Chase in January.
Edwardstone will attract plenty of each-way support following his wide margin success in the Game Spirit Chase at Newbury, but he disappointed in this race last year.
Captain Guinness could be worth chancing on betting apps to run into a place having finished second behind Energumene last year.
He was no match for El Fabiolo at the Dublin Racing Festival, but could reward punters who are looking for some each-way value in the race.
