2017 Albert Bartlett Novices

Being offered 14/1 for next year RSA and 25/1 for next year Gold Cup regarding Death Duty think I wait couple days then back the horse for either race.
 
Think I have a go tomorrow when I get paid. Stick 20 on each.

I think jono got offered a bigger price than 14s in the RSA (in the ante-post thread) and I would give Death Duty a 1% chance of going for the Gold Cup in his novice year..... young horse and Gigginstown have a tried and tested method and model that they stick too.
 
I prob use me old man account his with sky bet anyway if there bigger on there. Will try few bookies see what odds there all giving.
 
Anyone know if 365 have a price on this? Got a free bet with them I might throw at it if so

With the good talk regarding Death Duty for this race I have just being speaking to a bookie only asking for a quote for Rsa or Gold Cup 2018 I let you guys know what quote I receive when I get the email back.

I managed to get Death Duty for the RSA 2018 - 25's from Paddy Power and 16's from Coral. Both were requested bets. PP price didn't last though. I haven't checked since (a few weeks ago now) but Coral were the biggest price at 16's after I chased up with them all so i'd see if they are still offering that price
 
PP have a Cheltenham 2018 market, wanted to do a double on Altior and DD and some other multiples but it doesn't seem like you can
 
They are specials SH so they won't let you. If you have a PP shop nearby you may be able to sneak them on.
 
I didn't see West Approach as the horse to shorten most today, but it was impressive and has to have a chance in novice company which it sounds like they're going to stick to now - I think the current 12/1 will look big in the day.
 
I really liked Wholestone's performance, he's best of the British for me.
 
Me too FM. I think the form has a really solid look and Wholestone is not flashy, but how many Albert Bartlett winners are?!

As JackieMoon pointed out when I mentioned that I liked Wholestone and West Approach last time they ran (before today) ... Peregrine Run (25/1) is over priced... on good ground I think could run well.
 
Wholestone looked good. But think it will also look good as he watches Death Duty's rear coming up the hill in March!! :) :)

Not sure he'll get his ideal conditions at the fez if NTD is right...

"...we came here as we were hoping for the softer ground.

He's a good galloper and the rain helped."

Yes agree with you Faugheen. A solid antepost bet at 10/1. Proven at the course and on all types of ground.

Twiston Davies horses often underrated.
 
Improving with every run too. I see him as a big danger to death duty.
 
Surely a 3rd in a cleeve hurdle behind the stayers fav and a previous stayers winner would be good enough to go close in an AB.. Not to mention the horses he had in behind..
 
He's finished behind Wholestone 3 times this season though - there hasn't been much between them though on those occasions and Id rather have both of them on my side than Death Duty which I don't think has run against anything as good and has still to run over 3 miles and win on anything other than soft.
 
Wholestone has developed into a runner, I couldn't have him yesterday but he proved me wrong, big player...
 
West Approach must come into the reckoning ?

If they could get Ruby Id be backer.

Lets Dance his ride or something else iyos.
