Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

Albert Bartlett: Dinons 25/1 E/W

Angels Breath, Pic D'orhy & Dinons treble NRNB 2200/1

I'm not huge on Angels Breath but the other two I've added as an each way double. I like that a lot

I'd like to have seen more of Angels Breath on a racecourse but we'll have a better idea of his credentials after the Dovecotte on Saturday, the Supreme looks there for the taking to me. Especially if Klassical Dream is going Ballymore.

Just backed Go another one for coral cup with paddy's 40-1 ew.
won well today
might go martin pipe.
bits and pieces of form look good and might not get too harsh a treatment from UK handicapper.
might also be 40-1 on day to be fair,

Small field today but Robbie threw him between horses and certainly wouldn't mind the hustle and bustle.

Form of 21211221 isn' bad either...
 
sporting life podcast today quite interesting with trainer interviews for Harrington and Henderson. plus others
Harrington only sending 7/8 and only mentioned walk to freedom for pertemps, i know some are on not many left.
Henderson was interesting as he said he thinks he has nothing for the triumph, which means he doesn't hold out much hope for fusil raffles this weekend, unless he's being disingenuous, covered it anyway at 33's

Slap in Adjali's stupid little face as well.

Any Race.... Fred Winter... go on Adjali :triumphant:
 
...a sea of blue on Oddschecker for some reason, although Hills are still 20-1.

Understandable. Haven't seen a quote but this would look the obvious race and he's a talented, lightly raced, horse who looks very nicely treated off his current rating.

With connections, I'd expect a high profile amateur in the saddle.

I'm a sucker for the green and gold in handicaps.
 
No Comment - chase form is:

30L 3rd behind Terrefort
58L 6th Behind Rathvinden
16L 5th behind Bags Groove


He hasn't been within a fence of looking like winning a chase?

Some good hurdles form, but what am I missing? Bar connections?



Lot of respect for you both ... so what are you seeing that I am not?

picked wrong one. It's squaots year.

Just backed Walk to Freedom 33-1 nrnb coral cup.
Already got it for 33-1 pertemps, but on what's the word this week, a kid mentioned robbie power is talking up walk to freedom for the coral cup ?
I would imagine the target is not certain yet and it's entered in both.
It's as eyecatching a horse as I've seen this year in handicaps.

He's very lightly raced against good opposition at level weights where they've not been trying to win. Which has allowed him to have a lowly mark in a handicap at his optimum trip against lesser opposition than hes faced.

Added first assignment 17.52/1 pertemps

Yep, I'd be amazed if he wasn't significantly better than his current mark.
 
No Comment would have been trying at Cheltenham. He was trying on seasonal debut too. Just didn't jump well and eased down when already beat. He is well in on his hurdle form if he puts it together he has a chance. More likely he'll be pulled up though.
