Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

What’s about at the moment at a big price (25-1 plus) that’s great value?

Thomas Darby 25/1 Supreme?
Itchy Feet 33/1 Supreme?
 
Backed her immediately after she won Mares Novices with Hills. Me and my pal got £350 on @ 20's. A year in waiting. Just hope she makes it to the start . Cotton wool time. I think she is a superstar.

Not tempted to lay off the stake and have her running for free at 16/1 ?
 
My wife is fair skinned so I am actually doing her a favour keeping her out of the sun :)

I remember about 10 years ago , took the missus out for sunday Lunch at the Local , and she was
saying .....this is nice ...... how about...... "Your going to Australia aren't you !".
Well, yes I am , .... when are you going ?. Erm ...5 o'clock tomorrow morning !.

I seriously wish you the Best Lobos , That's a proper Bet !.

Thanks. Don't normally bet that much but had a nice return on her winning Mares Novices and was so blown away by her that I just played up the winnings. Fingers and everything else crossed.
 
Would I be throwing money away if I had P Nicholls @ 16s for £20 to be top trainer for the festival, I know he has not many for the champion races but he has a good chance in many of the handicaps and in races like the rsa, supreme, triumph, fox hunters and so on.. he must have at least 7 or 8 horses in the top three in the betting...

I always think with bets like that, you could do a heinz (or goliath) or whatever, on some of his horses...

He'd need 5 or 6 winners to be winning it and you'd get a helluva lot more returns than 16/1?

Give Me A Copper
Topofthegame
Friend or Foe
Frodon
Posh Trish
Pic D'orhy
Clan Des Obeaux
Magic Saint


It isn't like he has LOADS of depth, he just has these decent chances.... Quel Destin I suppose, and a few in the Fred Winter... but it's more about these above winning than him having depth?

I was thinking that, but then I looked at his other runners and multi's would cost a lot..

Movewiththetimes
Brio Conti
Le Prezien
top three in the country hurdle
Pacha Du Polder

I just thought 5 winners out of them 15 plus runners would not be out of the questions, and if they did win they could mess a few of my bets up so the 16s would be a small saver...
