2024 Cheltenham - the odds on offer.

.

But it’s now, before the DRF, I’m prowling those trader howlers desperately..

Sky have said they’ll be adding specials like the Irish 1,2,3 home in more than 3 races beginning of next month so keep an eye out in a couple of weeks…
 
Thankyou for that Mr Japan, appreciated.

I have a price in my head I’m willing to back it at again, but I know SKY won’t be offering odds this side of evens. 10/11 would be fantastic I’d suggest - 4/5 as an opener very fair.

Triumph 1,2,3 would be a lump job anyway.

What price would you think?

Think we’d be lucky to get 4/5 on 3+ races first 3 Irish home tbh & if they did open up showing that I’d imagine it’d get hammered in pretty quickly…

Bumper, Triumph all but in the bag IMO … then one other. Albert Bartlett, Turners, NHC prime candidates. Definitely odds on.

Turners seems likely. NHC seems likely. Could possibly happen in a handicap hurdle as the Irish record there in the last few years has been very very good.

Mares Chase with ADV, Impervious and Scarlet and Dove.

I'd say it would be long odds on.

…but this thread is about next years Festival.

There is a thread about offers for this Festival.

Constitution Hill to be schooled over fences this summer all being well. And Buckley is contemplating the ‘Dawn Run route’.

PP offering 6/1 about him winning the CH and any Novice Chase next year seems good value. I’ve had a couple of points.

Please let this happen. Fantastic news.

Hope they don't waste a season in novice chases

The aim should be the champion chase not the arkle

Then up in trip the season after

In principle I agree. But Nicky has no decent novice hurdlers this year. So if Jonbon wins the Arkle, surely he’s the QMCC horse and Con Hill heads to the Arkle?

Arkle then Gold Cup 2025. Proven route.

Just let him win the Champion Hurdle first. Let's not jinx it.

This could be a once in a generation talent

You don't send that horse to the arkle because you have an inferior horse who may win the champion chase

Him jogging around in novice chases all season at 1/10 achieves nothing, would be a waste

They should aim for the stars with this horse

Try to win the champion hurdle, champion chase and gold cup. The 3 premier NH races.

I just hope the string of 1s doesn't get to them and they get afraid to lose. Kauto lost plenty of times but that doesn't matter as he won grade 1s at every distance from 2 miles to 3 miles 2f.

I've been trying to get prices for Mullins to train the first 3, 4 and 5 in the Triumph but they won't put a market up yet.

You’ll find no argument from me in terms of what I’d like them to do. But I think Nicky will keep him in novice company.
