Cheltenham 2026 Prices

…I’m down in a very hot Kos, probably our last holiday this summer but have VPN on and can see a few offers from sites I have access to. Starting to get NH/Cheltenham offers now which is always a good sign.
Wish I was back there. Kardamena? Lovely boozing down the harbour when the sun is blazing. I am in a wet and windy Wigan

…..Rocky’s Diamond a whopping 40-1 (BANC) in Hills ‘Road to Cheltenham’ Specials (PP/BFSB as low as 14-1 following his recent win).
Not sure what to make of him. I was hoping he would stay over hurdles. Until May, I worked with somebody who had Declan and Tom Queally's phone number and was going to ask him if he could find out what the plan was for him but it's pretty obvious now anyway :LOL: he is very young to be tackling a Brown Advisory. He is a 'stay away' for me right now. The 40/1 is very tempting, mind...

How long do the specials usually stand up for eggs?

….sometimes they’re time bound but not sure on these ones. I dare say they’re happy to take bits and bobs on them but will be quick to change if any more than that. They have;

KDB (Ark) 7-1
Munny (CH) 20-1
Rocky’s (BANC) 40-1

Also got Jonbon KG 18-1, not entirely sure why that one is ‘Road to Cheltenham’.
 
Noticed Hills have Triumph and Mares Novice markets up now.
 
They have also released to win any race markets

….looks to me like you can do multiples on a/r selections, not sure if I’m seeing that right and if so how long it will last.

Dr du Mesnil boosted 15-1 a/r might not be too bad given he’s as low as 14-1 Turners.

Yeah I noticed that… let’s you combine with other races and other sports too. Don’t think it’s meant to work like that hasn’t previously.

The age thing is interesting given how he progressed last season. Winning the Galmoy and then being advanced into the Stayers at 5! Now is the right age to go chasing in my opinion although I must admit I will have to burn my ap dockets for the stayers! He has taken a haircut this past week and the 40 is now 28 on WH. 14/1 with PP.

….yep, yesterday’s 40-1 has had a right haircut.

Sky started allowing this year before last and did so last year so maybe they’re just following suit. One of the only positives to come from a bookie antepost market I can think of in recent years, really in the backdrop of ever shortening prices

Think they’ve changed it already ffs 🤦‍♂️
 
The Yellow Clay staying over hurdles this season
I see hes name checked down royal or the lismullen hurdle, surely not Down Royal at 2m! The latter would make more sense and possibly Stayers target?
