Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

The first time I tried to use my points, it was problematic. BUT I phoned up and they were more than happy to help.
(It seems a common issue).

Once the accounts are linked, the process is straight forward.
I've used it to buy my festival tickets for the last three years now.
 
Used a fair few points for the October meeting without any problems whatsoever. :confused:

All have differing amount of "Free Pts" staked - obviously the shorter ones have had more thrown at them.

Given that most Free Bets are in multiples of £5 - I use £5 as "1 point".
I aim to get at least a 40 point potential return from each runner.

Didn't think you'd be backing another horse in the arkle this year? :devilish:
 
Your namesake running in the 2-50 at Doncaster Scooby !.:)
 
Scooby, been looking high and low for an update on CPS, have you seen anything or just using the benefit of cash out?

In the Arkle thread.
A lot of entries for limerick on Boxing Day, novice chase 2m 3 inc cilaos emery, getabird, chacun pour soi

I guess it came from this... and 100% the use of cashout

Very good point just seen kev put that too. Ihe's entered up and he's that price he's a no brainer to me. I won't back another though.
 
It is never too early for me to start forming a handicap watchlist and the first write up is as follows:

Talkischeap - Ultima Handicap (3m)
Highly tried on debut and similarly on his upcoming second start which is also over an inadequate trip. Jumped well on debut and they could be getting him beaten in better company to preserve his mark for a while. Alan King has tended to aim one at the Ultima every season and this could be the one this year. Novices also have a good record in the race and 3 miles should be perfect.

Sounds worthy of a new thread to me ... keep them all in the same place?
 
Scooby - do you know anything about Dustin Des Mottes, running in the 12:45 at Newbury today.

Had a quick look at his French form and he has beaten Mick Taros (who beat Annamix) by 23 lengths.

Any idea if this could be an exciting one?

I wouldn't take that mick taros annamix form literal. It's like black river / vautour. Mr mix/ min konig dax/ douvan

But Dustin des mottes isn't a bad horse. I wouldn't put you off him today. Who knows if He'll need the run.

I wouldn't put you off skeltons horse in the 1.20 at Newbury 15/2 might well look a reasonable price
