Cheltenham 2018 Ante post bets

Nothing over fences now

Can't blame that on the fences :)
Jlt or nothing my guess. No chance in the CH couldn't go the pace here, if they thought he coukd go well in the CH. Put him in the coral cup of 154

Rated 156 for hurdles what would Smith put him at?
 
I would sooner take the simple option that he isn't going to win anything.

He dosent become a bad horse over night he's ran in 2 races this season which neither suited him at all. If you can work out where he's going he's currently over priced in everything but the CH. / QMCC
 
Ryanair or nothing for Yorkhill for me. Wouldn’t want to rule him out of that, back at Cheltenham at what appears his ideal trip, Ruby loves him and might ride if he’s showing some spark at home at the time
 
Bet 365 cut him to 4/1 for the Ryanair. Wish I could get the 8/1 SkyBet are offering.
 
Yorkhill was hard to back before the off today. I did/do have doubts with Yorkhill over 2 miles and everything happening just too quickly for him but Yorkhill never travelled at all today. Drifted and hard to back before the off today, that wasn't his true running at all.

Ryanair, with Ruby back onboard then i'd still be very keen on him even though you have to take a stab on Ruby and the 2m5 trip getting back on track as that performance wins nothing at the festival.

Little point debating much until Faugheen runs in just over an hour...could be all change again!
 
Brace yourself 20/1 nrnb bog
Rhinestone 14/1 nrnb bog
Champion bumper.

Will cashout if neither win or 2nd to a giggi horse. For a small loss.
 
Jezki
20/1 coral cup nrnb bog
16/1 county nrnb bog

I thought he ran a cracker today , he wants better ground. I will be interested to see his revised mark. And would like to see him dropped in class.

My summary of today . Faugheen clearly lost some of the old sparkle. Min was good . Footpad was good and petit mouchoir ran with a lot of credit. Melon ran poor

Agree but are they likely to run in the champion again?
 
Mixed day for the ante-post.

Min highly in the green now.

Faugheen 4/1 NRNB looking very poor value now.

Added Petit Mouchoir at 6/1 NRNB to the bet, I can’t see anything in England getting close to him and Footpad right now, so 6/1 to reverse the form is my sort of bet.
 
And if you like that sort of thing Petit Mouchoir is probably the filthiest each way bet at the festival, was handled very tenderly after the second last yesterday
 
Beer and betting just dont go together.Went to cash out a bet in running as could see it wasnt a going day but cashed out footpad for the arkle !!! so in my rage i cashed out every ante post bet i had with 365.Today gutted is not the word.
