Cheltenham 2018 Ante post bets

Got a spare 2pts, someone give me a double or a treble to have...

I'd never tell a man where to spend his pts, but at the moment the most solid treble in my eyes is Apples Jade, Samcro and Faugheen. Could be worth waiting till Thursday however because every chance Annamix replaces Faugheen as the third leg. It's a pity Fayonagh isn't still with us, she'd be a shoe in to fill that third spot.

I've already got Annamix and had Fayomagh in a few so glad theres a couple of different ones in there!

Thats two with substance.

If you want one to shorten hugely.

Thinking of doing numerous trebles on my most confident 6/7 horses for the festival, anyone tried something like this before? Any success from it?
 
I feel like a lot of us are clinging on to the hope Annamix is in the same league as Samcro, I know I am. The excitement will build once he has been and done his job :triumphant:
Bang on, I'm already starting to get nervous / excited about his potential run on Thursday. How many days to the Festival...haha?

Hollowgraohic one I like the look of too Scooby. Who did Saldier go to? JP?
 
I try it every Cheltenham DJ but with very limited success. You only need to get it right once though.

I don't stop at trebles though, I'd be distraught if 4 or more won. I perm them up but reduce the stakes as I include more horses.
 
I see, has the right connections to cause a price collapse alright.

Interesting that PP/BF go 14/1 on Hollowgraphic while Hills and 365 go 25s.. PP rarely far from the mark with Mullins young uns. I heard first hand that Rio Vivas was very well thought of in the yard for the Champion Bumper, the money came in on his debut to support that. Was a disappointing third in the end but I'll give him another chance on better ground.

I try to, although if I was being critical of my own multiples I probably have too many 'related' multiples where there is some sort of theme, be it "running on the same day, same owners, same jockey, same type of race, same sire".... but varied success and its hard not to!

Speaking of which..... I bet somebody has the Mullins 4-timer lined up already.... Annamix,Footpad,Faugheen,Limini?
Massive Apple's Jade fan myself but wouldn't put that 4 timer on ....

Maybe I can be persuded :highly_amused:

Shame you weren't on the forum when Annamix was 25s, plenty would have followed in on that... I know I would have :D

Watching On The Line, listening to Ricci .... the 43/1 available for the DOuvan (CC), Min (Ryanair) double that PP have also cut is not going to last long!

"Douvan has unfinished business"
Also agreed about no need to step up
"Not scared of taking anything on"
"Djakadam is Gold Cup horse at the moment"

I have no doubts at all Min is the Ryanair horse for Ricci ...... dangerous game I know but I can't help myself:highly_amused:
