Why run Kinkeel in the Game Spirit?

Question

Why run Kinkeel the Game Spirit? He’s in the Game Spirit Chase on Saturday. The last race he won was a handicap chase at Southwell off a handicap mark of just 70. If he takes on Master Minded he’ll be receiving 10lbs when he should be getting 101lbs.

Answer 1

If we don’t get some runners this could have ended up as a walkover  - with prize money down to sixth place there’s always a chance of someone entering a horse in the hope of a small field and some easy place money.
