WILLIE MULLINS’ superstar two-mile chaser El Fabiolo is a huge drifter in the market for the Clarence House Chase.
Punters had been relishing the prospect of a showdown with Nicky Henderson’s Jonbon.
But now they’re fearing a walkover after Arkle hero El Fabiolo took a walk in the market on Tuesday.
Having been 1-2 to win this morning, by the afternoon he was out to 6-4.
It meant he was smashed into evens for the Dublin Chase at the Dublin Racing Festival next month.
Meanwhile, Jonbon was 6-4 for the Ascot showpiece but is now into odds-on 4-6 with Sky Bet.
Just two other horses – Elixir De Nutz and Unexpected Party – have been entered in the Grade 1 chase this Saturday.
But they are priced up at a best 25-1 and 66-1 respectively.
It left one punter fearing the worst as they wrote in response to the news: “Jonbon walkover a strong possibility.”
