1 Sir Gino. It is crazy to think that as recently as last November he was stepping in for Constitution Hill in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle. But after winning that Grade 1 contest he showed his future is over fences with a jaw-dropping - or in Hendo's words 'frightening' - display in the Wayward Lad at Kempton on Boxing Day.
He left the awesome Ballyburn for dead and many were convinced he could win the Champion Chase as a novice this year. Before Christmas he was 3-1 for the Arkle but after that romp he was cut to 10-11. Sir Gino accounts for 71 per cent of all bets placed on the 2m Grade 1 through Oddschecker.
