Think he runs in the Irish gold cup this weekend Isty, just have a feeling they may think he doesn't have what it takes to tackle the GC, so the Ryanair could be their race of choice, only backing with nrnb bookies so seems worth the chance at the price -
Airlie Beach @ 5/2
Death Duty @ 9/4
Thistlecrack @ 6/4
A Toi Phil @ 20/1
Yankee, 11 betsComment

I'm tempted to split my stakes on the Altior Douvan double and then the double at 5/1+ lengths.
I very rarely take up these offers, mainly for the reasons stated in this thread but I can see the value in this special.
The idea of backing both horses in what really would have to be large stakes and losing out by a length or so even if they were so dominant would be heart wrenching but at least by backing the double i'd still win, albeit being slightly annoyedComment

How many points are you thinking?
Might be one of the Doubles that the bookies offer some boosts on in the lead up? (Wishful thinking)Comment

I was thinking whether there may be an enhanced double at some point but can't see it being better than evens.
Approx 25 points is my thinking - 10 points on the 9/4 Special, 15 points Evens Win...:oComment

I see. As unlikely as it seems, Yorkhill could rock up in the Arkle? That'd scupper the bet?
Not sure Slybet will accept 10 points on it either? haha
I think they're as close to certainties as you can get in NH racing though. Are you not a little torn because you have Altior backed at a nice price? Without going back through I think it was a few points?Comment

Haha!! Yeah got to worry about that one too!Not sure Slybet will accept 10 points on it either? haha
Altior on his own is covered quite nicely for me yeah - I just feel like this is one of those doubles that don't come around too often (not the price but the talent of both horses coupled with the lack of any meaningful opposition). If i'm honest I also like the fact I only have to wait until the second day of the festival for the outcome - i'll know my fate halfway through the festival which I like. (they may both be a certainty but that type of bet would get me sweating!!
)
I mean even Sprinter at 1/4 in his 2013 Queen Mother win - he was a certainty but he had a horse like Sizing Europe in there that was worthy of taking him on.Comment

Latest double
Uxizandre QM 16/1
Zabana Ryanair 12/1
Price trimmed on Zabana, obviously not the only one thinking this could be his targetComment

Skybet getting wise to using Altior or Douvan as price push doubles with other horses.
Tried to get Western Ryder up to 30/1 by doubling with Altior and was limited to £15, I can have what I like on the single at 20/1....Comment

I've had few ante post this year. My yankee has already gone down to a Trixie with Politologue going to the JLT from RSA , all done pre no runner no bet. Now I've got Meri Devie , Petit Mouchoir, and Cilaos Emery. All EW mind a decent odds.
I've done a double with Brain Power and Native River, again EW. Also Jezki EW. I think i'll have the Champion Hurdle sewn up
, unless Jezki goes to the world hurdle but I got NRNB on that @ 14/1.
