Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

Anyone any idea of the well being of City Island for martin brassil ??
or any plans for it ??
 
Martin mentioned the Ballymore after his win at Leopardstown Quevega. The owners sponsor the race. I’d be happy to back him in that race e/w at a nice price but would like to see him stepped up in class to make a proper call on Ballymore or Martin Pipe. Dallas De Pictons franked the form last time out! He’s one I’m keen to have onside wherever he goes.

Form's solid enough int it
cheers
 
I've already had a few quid on at 2.7/1 with the boost. Think the price is fair enough tbh. If he gets to 3/1 I will be going in again. I really struggle to see why Willie is so much shorter. Price based on reputation alone. He'd normally have the fav for most of the novice races by this stage and currently doesn't have any.

Good call as in to 2/1 now, be surprised if 3s is ever available

saw that earlier,
I'd still expect someone will go 3-1 when they all price it up, but depends what happens in next few weeks I suppose
 
Hopefully this is me not being negative, but is it just me that’s getting slightly concerned about quite a few horses not coming out yet? With quite a lot of bad weather forecast across the UK & Ireland in next month or so, meaning that horses may not have many race options

WPM already struggling as mentioned to get races for some of his stars and other trainers maybe running out of race options too?

Would be interested what other people think?
 
What does everyone think the odds will be on top owner this year?

Straight forward two horse race these days and Rich Ricci must pinch himself he used to be fav in this market! I am hoping Gigg will be short priced fav, as Im keen to have a few quid on JP.
 
Yep, have a good feeling for jp this year, this weather is messing everything up. Still, makes it even more fun picking the winners.....
 
skybet doing the hendo/JP double at 9/1 for anyone fancying both.

No idea what price JP should be but if we were to say Evens (5/6 with Skybet apparently) then you'd be getting over 3/1 on Henderson. Does Hendo also not have the most JP runners? If so that it is related and makes 9/1 even better value, thoughts?

It's 4-1 now.
 
They don't normally let me play on specials anyway, I don't know why I keep trying:(
