The Might Bite team resisted the Betfair Chase 12 months ago but the lure of a £1 million carrot dangled by the Jockey Club has proved too strong this time.

A year older at nine going on ten and with his eccentricities looking a thing of the past, Might Bite takes in the first leg of the Chase Triple Crown and the move sets up a tantalising rematch with his Cheltenham Gold Cup conqueror Native River.

Might Bite is out of a mare named Knotted Midge which is also a fishing fly. Might Bite, get it? :)

Might Bite and Native River both run at Haydock for the first time.

IMHO the ride that Richard Johnson gave Native River in the Gold Cup was the best ride by any jockey this year.Flat or Jumps.

Horse reported to be all fine after that. Just din't seem too sure of himself when jumping.

Haydock has come in for criticism for the height of the fences and also the stiffness of the birch. Jocks said height was fine but fences had no give in them.

Sure you'll make the cash back on him at some stage.

Doubts around Samcro's participation apparently.
