Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

Interested to see what prices Annamix and Salsaretta are for the Supreme and Mares Novice next year, both slashed this year and never ran. Assume they both start at single digits?

Tough to say, it'll be a nice bit away, Salsa obviously like glass and Annamix coming off an injury.

Fully expect bookies to have them single figures though
 
Any thought s on any of the new purchases for next year's festival? Envoi Allen (Elliott),Dlauro (Joseph o'B) asterion forlonge (mullins) seems crazy money but but then again so was Samcro.

Who are the owners?
 
Monalee To Win The 2018 RSA Chase & 2019 Cheltenham Gold Cup 50/1 with PP

Some might fancy that?
 
Footpad Gold Cup 2019.
It's worth remembering what willie said today when prices start floating about
 
itll be everywhere soon, but just up on sporting life, he was musing as usual, but i just thought that if it wins arkle it'll be mentioned for champion chase, but they may well go up in trip.
All is well. He has just a beautiful method of jumping. He was good enough to run well in a Champion Hurdle and he always had ability, but his method of jumping has catapulted him right to the top. He stays he could do(Gold Cup route in the future). We don’t have any problem with him staying, but you think to yourself could he be a Champion Chase horse? With his method of jumping, could he be easier to keep sound running over two miles rather than three-and-a-half? Gold Cup racing is so tough. He’s just a natural. He takes it wherever he meets it, he stands back, he’s very quick and he’s no fear.

When do the any race markets normally pop up?
 
Going to have to put something on for 2019 on my bet365 account

Haven’t had 0 open bets since the week before the Irish grand National last year!

William Hill added Samcro for me in late April last year so I’d expect them to be up in the next 3 weeks

Correction:

Laurina 2/1
Samcro 3/1

On William Hill, I’d expect a bigger slate by end of the month

Ha! Just had a similar experience. Looked through my open bets and thought "Is that it?" It's going to be a long year.
