Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

0.5U on Monbeg Notorious to win the Irish National and the GC

150/1

It was posted in the IN thread about a winning trend of 7 year olds and I wonder if we could see a new route for some top novice chasers skipping Cheltenham and going this route
 
Thats was almost a boost the great field form
 
I am going in at 33s with Billy . Getabird Champion Hurdle included in my next E/W multiples. I'm hoping that they can sort out his quirks in the next 11 months.
 
Anybody impressed enough by coquin mans to give him outside chance in stayers at Cheltenham..defo looks a gud stayer..and was only 4 lengths off melon and beat micks jazz in 2 mile race..defo cryin out for longer distance..stayed 2 1/2 mile well yday in very heavy ground..will only be 7 yr old come next March..had a bet at 16s..very open division

I was too Weldo2204. If Next Destination goes novice chasing RSA bound?, that leaves Penhill for W. Mullins and it looks as if a flat campaign is on the agenda there . I think if he doesn't go to the JLT then Coquin Mans has a very live chance against Supasundae in the stayers . He's going in my E/W multiples.

Dont give up on Scarpeta yet..hes probably going to have a go at a couple of nice prizes on the flat before being aimed at the stayers..he could turn out be another for mullins in the race..

If Penhill does run in the Stayers Hd. He is my only selection.
 
Just throwing one out there but what do we think of Bellshill as a gold cup horse?

Doesn't have the class for me somer, has been royally chinned on each visit to Prestbury, beaten 10l in Might Bite's RSA which would have been value for 25l but for the winners antics is not Gold Cup form.
Would have to improve hand over fist to even be considered good enough to run for me...
 
Thanx Ista.I was happy with how it ran yester with the big weight (untill the last) and thought i would see what you guys thought
 
That Irish National is one of the biggest trends races in the calendar and it was obvious Elliot left Outlander in the race to keep better fancied horses on their low weight, this race is always set up for a 10st (or under) horse.
150 would have got him into most of the top staying chases with under 11st so I was a little surprised he went down this route in such gruelling conditions.
As you say, he ran very well but the featherweights were always taking over from 2 out....
 
Bellshill ran well as you say under the weight but his record at the track would put me off backing him for any race at Cheltenham
 
First bet done. (Free bet - with 365 avoided the temptation of using it on the masters.)

Melon 8/1 - Arkle
Laurina 5/2 - Mares
Altior 7/4 - QMCC
Samcro 8/1 - RSA
 
I've had a few small bets.......

Felix Desjy - win single Supreme
Samcro - win single Arkle
Buveur D'Air - win single Champion Hurdle
Some doubles and a treble

Apples Jade and Laurina - added into a few doubles and trebles

Blackbow - win single Ballymore
Santini & Next Destination - both win singles
Altior - added to doubles and trebles

Shattered Love - win single RyanAir
Footpad - win single RyanAir

Presenting Percy - win Gold Cup
 
mostly £1 and £2 win doubles and trebles with a few £10 win singles :)
 
Free bets going on a combination of:

Buveur D'Air - Champion Hurdle
Penhill - Stayers
Presenting Percy - Gold Cup
Laurina - Mares

Mixed up a couple of each way doubles and trebles...
 
Followed paddy in and backed MIN for the melling chase at 12/1 . Obviously risks attached but I follow my own system.

We all know that altior/ top notch/ balko des flos and douvan don't run.

I DO NOT KNOW THAT MIN RUNS HERE. But pp/bf is my guide. And im happy to take the risk.
