Cheltenham 2018 Ante post bets

I did Samcro 16/1, AS 25/1, Stay Humble 33/1 and Topofthegame 25/1 in a Yankee after reading One Jump Ahead.

I won a few bob over the weekend so am going to invest in an antepost yankee myself.
Which races are these going?

Hopefully Neptune, Triumph, Bumper and RSA but if two of them line up I'll have done well.
 
Just seen the Willie Mullins stable tour from RP, No mention of Annamix which I find surprising considering all the hype everywhere on this horse
 
Got a small mention in the ‘French Import’ section..

Melon, was in the same section last year .

Arctic fire wasn't mentioned at all and with no entries. Assuming the worst.

Not a positive... but with the amount of horses he has, and a line or two on each... what would he really have been able to say that we don't already know?

Exactly. Yard are aware of the need for a ricci, mullins supreme horse from the outset so probably try and avoid hyping. Ricci mentioned him on ATR yesterday..
 
Any mention of Sayar or Sharjah? I can't find it on Twitter.

Yeah there was FM, on what was wrote you'd think he rates Sayar more than Sharjah.

On Sayar: "He could prove to be top-class" - that was his opening line.

On Sharjah: " He won a maiden hurdle by 5 lengths on heavy ground at Gowran in September and will be staying in novice hurdles" - That was all that was said about him.

Search national hunt


Fair play to the guy as he's already been threatened with legal action from posting previous stable tours lol.

Thanks Scooby and CoD - it's appreciated :encouragement:
 
Hollowgraphic champion bumper 25/1
Very good run in the goffs land rover bumper where the form has worked out well, was his only run so far, he's had a summer to strengthen up and any improvement would put him bang there imo. Happy with the price I was thinking he'd open up at 20s max.

Aware I could get 33s but I would have to go in shop.

You got me looking at that bumper, won by Vision Des Flos, a horse, from memory, that you are pretty sweet on I believe?

The form of the horses out of that bumper look rather solid tbf, but I had noticed most of them had been kept to 2m, yet connections of Vision Des Flos decided it would be good to send him out over 2m 3f and worse still 2m 5f on his second start, in pretty tough Grade 2 races!

He looked way keen on his first start, so to finish as close as he did over, what I think is actually an inadequate trip for the horse at this current time, is actually better than the bare result suggests.

The long and short of this post is I don't honestly think he'll see out the Neptune trip, so have taken the plunge and backed him on the exchanges for the Supreme, in the hope the Tizzards are running him over longer to get beat, to keep his price tidy for the Supreme, haha, not skeptical at all me ;)

Yeh he was good, early doors in 3rd with rapid escape 4th from memory, looks a strong bumper

And vision des flos they've messed it up for the horse imo. Should have gone for a 2m maiden. Win in the bridle and give him some confidence and build up from there

I'm hoping he was already quite far forward in his work and confident enough that he's now inline for the Supreme after a couple of defeats. Can see him staying on well enough over 2m though, if he does go for the race :)
