    All the markets look like they are nrnb

    The amount of time to the races and chances of injury just arent factored into Cheltenham antepost at all anymore

    Much like obrein horses on the flat for the classics
    Antepost is dying. Sure you can find value but it's getting harder, Prices are getting worse and worse.

      Me too. Way, way down on previous years. Just don't fancy hardly anything at the prices. Betting on scraps ATM. Constitution Hill predicament still heavily affecting my judgement. Just messing about with big priced doubles which will probably end in disappointment. Even the TWAR prices are in general appalling so can't get excited about that either. One or two gems but that's it.

        Funny how differently we all see things, I guess it depends entirely on our own opinions but I feel like the prices are better this year than the last couple (all things relative, before anyone blows a fuse about back in their day), some have really been overlooked and most of the non-novice shorties are difficult to argue with at this stage.

            Iroko and Inthepocket my top 2


            Tullyhill, Ballyburn and Fact to File all better off with TWAR than splitting stakes across all 3 Novice Races.

              Thats the only good thing i can say for Skybet is you can use the TWAR in doubles to get the prices up

                Remember they also do To Be Placed Any Race. Never used that option but might interest some.

                • b365 still have the El Fabiolo/GDC double at 8/1. Absolutely the best way to use your free bets and bet credits from the free football goals and correct scores games.

                    Can't argue with that Archie. Think plenty on here have joined you with that one.

                    • As a few have spotted
                      The turners novice chase looks open if the Mullins horse stays hurdling
                      I backed Tahmuras yesterday as 50-1 seems fair and he has a similar profile to stage star. I expect a similar campaign. Probably not good enough but is as entitled to improve for chasing given Nichols mo.

                      mildly interested in Zanahyir also but no prices yet
                      i reckon I’d want 25-1.

                      context for this is I’m likely to make a book on a couple of the novice chase’s even though overall I’m being more selective

                        I'd looked for Zanahiyr myself Q when the news broke about horses going chasing. He's a pretty classy individual when on song but the worry would be his inconsistency. I'll request today, see what they say.

                          I was very keen on this one too, but I am a little concerned he is ground dependent and will need a deluge to prevail.
                          50/1 is an OK price though...

                            • Interesting that Willmount has had a fairly severe haircut with 365 for the Supreme in the last day or so - into 25/1 from 40/1. Any news released?

                                Also Nicholls didn’t sound hugely positive about him in his brochure. Nothing truly negative, but didn’t gush like he did to Stay Away Fay and others. 50/1 very fair to find out though.
