Cheltenham 2026 Prices

14/1 Sixandahalf seems decent value to me in the mares hurdle. Keith got a telling off for sending her on too early last Thursday, she idled in front was the verdict.

She’ll stay 2m4f no problem & the old course will be more up her street.

I’ve currently played her &

Ksar Fatal Supreme 25/1
William Munny Arkle 16/1
Majborough Ryanair 10/1
IEP Ryanair 33/1
TBW BANC 28/1 boosted

You've been mugged off for Impaire Et Passe at 10/1 for the Ryanair, hoping that's a typo

Typo indeed HTR,

33/1 he’s a bit to prove after the DRF but plenty of horses just don’t operate around there, happy to forgive the Flogas run, Majborough at 10/1 is probably better value though, he can jump adequately over the minimum trip obviously but a bit more time to set him might be the trick.

The engine is obviously there & I can see FTF & the reigning champ filling JP’s roster in the Gold Cup next year.

Reckon his had it priced up for his blog and haggled his price on the basis they'd cut it almost instantly. No other bookie has it priced. :pirate:

Never asked for it to be priced up. Was already on the Sportbook when asked for a handful for next year.

….Munny cut to 12s from 16s by PP/BFSB in the last few hours given trainers comments that he won’t run again this season and will be aimed at Arkle.
 
Big Westerner has been cut was 25/1 with Ladbrokes for the BANC now into a best priced 16/1
 
Has anything further been said about Jasmin de Vaux, 14/1 Stayers I'd be very interested in but read somewhere in here Mullins has said he goes chasing...

Mullins seems to send everything chasing

I think we'd be hoping he can't jump a fence at all for it to happen

OK thanks.
He couldn't accommodate all his novice chasers this season and given the volume of graded novice hurdlers he currently has there's no reason to think that'll change next year.
We live in hope...

He could win the stayers basically every season if he wanted too but he really doesn't seem overly interested

Very interesting post race stuff. Bromley basically said “too small for chasing; stayers hurdle campaign awaits”. 5-minutes later Willie is saying he’ll go novice chasing. Who knows. I did get the impression Willie was saying anything that came to mind after some of his winners this week.

Owners swayed over IEP staying over hurdles didn't they?
 
Which of the following novice hurdlers would you prefer to back for next season at current best prices:

Kopek Des Bordes 5/1 Arkle
Final Demand 6/1 BANC
The Yellow Clay 8/1 BANC
The New Lion 7/1 Champion Hurdle
Jasmin De Vaux 14/1 Stayers Hurdle

In order, I think I'd go JDV, TNL, TYC.

Personally really like the Ballymore form (even though that’s been an expensive route to go down in the last few years), and have backed the related TNL (CH) / TYC (BANC) double as a result. If I didn’t back TNL for the Champion Hurdle pre-Ballymore, I think he’d be top of my list of those above.

Jasmin De Vaux the target has to be a concern with Willie making comments about going chasing - I also get the feeling he might be one to look average early and mid season and get pushed out in price along the way before putting in an improved performance again at the festival. That being said, I have done a couple
of related doubles with JDV (Stayers) and a couple of the placed Bartlett horses in the BANC.

Kopek Des Bordes currently at the top of my roll up target list, Final Demand I’m happy to leave for now (excepting maybe a related double with TNL), at the prices I’d rather go with a couple of the placed horses from the Albert Bartlett for the BANC.

….hoping the Punchestown (and to a lesser degree Aintree) WTAF offers will be of real interest in the next month or so.

Thanks for this.
Always a very considered speaker is Bromley so his comments have value to me, 14/1 isn't a jackpot price but it's enough to convince me to have a small play...

I think it's a great price for the stayers, and the Brown Advisory price wouldn't interest me at all. If he goes over fences, I'll likely leave him alone.

Horrible race for betting ante post but do we assume Banbridge will abandon any Gold Cup thoughts next season ?
I've seen 12/1 for the Ryanair, not a price I can fall in love with but tempted to add to a multi or two...
