Fact To File now 11/8 to win the Champion Chase at Punchestown today - while Marine Nationale is next in the market at 2/1 with Sky Bet
The Willie Mullins-trained Fact To File has been boosted from 1/1 to 11/8 to win at the Punchestown Festival today - as the gelding lines up for the feature race of the day - the Champion Chase.
Fact To File was impressive at the Cheltenham Festival last time out - with the French-bred horse winning the Ryanair Chase by nine lengths from Heart Wood.
The eight-year-old also boasts course form at Punchestown - as he finished first past the post in the Grade 1 John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase in November of last year.
Meanwhile, it is Marine Nationale who is perceived to be the biggest threat to Fact To File - as the Irish horse enters today's fixture as a 2/1 second-favourite.
Marine Nationale was very impressive in his last outing - winning the Cheltenham Festival's Queen Mother Champion Chase by a convincing 18 lengths.
Similarly to Fact To File - Marine Nationale also boasts strong course form, having won at the venue on two separate occasions.
Lastly, for those after outsiders in the market - El Fabiolo, Solness, Captain Guinness and Senecia are next at 11/2, 10/1, 33/1 and 100/1 respectively.
Sky Bet odds for the Punchestown Festival's Champion Chase:
Fact To File WAS 1/1 NOW 11/8
Marine Nationale 2/1
El Fabiolo 11/2
Solness 10/1
Captain Guinness 33/1
Senecia 100/1
