Long Run is now favourite for the RSA Chase after a sustained Friday gamble.

Sky Bet cut Nicky Henderson's charge to 7/2 from 4/1 and now make him 3/1 joint-favourite with stablemate Punchestowns.

Ladbrokes, Boylesports and Stan James have been even more dramatic with Long Run their 5/2 market leader and Punchestowns out to 7/2.

Michael Shinners of Sky Bet said: "The money for Long Run has been very interesting and a steady flow since lunchtime has meant we are now joint favourites at 3/1. Punchestowns has been eased out from 11/4."
