Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

When last seen he was in the process of running a huge race. Freshened up since, he's the one to beat for me. I feel like I'll be in the minority though.

That’s the catch what was he going to find had he not fell? I’m probably just weary after getting carried away with Cue Cards prep run in the Ascot Chase last year. Imo Faugheen was gifted the Punchestown stayers race last year...

I was given some tickets from work for Thursday. Grand I thought, booked the train to get in at around midday lovely stuff.

Got home and opened the envelope and they're for the bloody Chez Roux restaurant! Thinking myabe I should buy new tickets to get in earlier to make the most of it.

Did have another jolly planned to take me on Friday, but I've a 7:45 train to cardiff on Saturday for Wales Ireland so may swerve that

Enjoy Cardiff

I’m going opposite direction Cardiff -Dublin early Saturday
Will be in the minority in Inniscoffery :-)

Where did you find the entries please FM
 
Topofthegame 7/2 ew
Min 5/1 ew
Auvergnat 11/2 ew

174.5/1
but more importantly, the place part is 8/1 (or effectively 4/1 if you discount the win part)



I would be staggered if Topofthegame wasn't in the first 3, and if Santini didn't run it's a racing-certainty

Min will place, if he runs.

Auvernat just looks a better horse than he has been previously, has been 4th twice.... so perhaps there is a better option than him?
 
Buveur D'air is going in some ew doubles on Tuesday morning. It looks like he'll be pushed out to 11/4, maybe even 3/1.

Buveur D'air
Min
TOTG
Posh Trish
Faugheen

All the above are horses that I'll be looking to put in ew doubles and trebles.

Have a great time Jon. Best of luck.
 
Sirbetalot best of luck! We are in the same boat! If the mrs found out the total outlay she would go mental haha! Some cracking bets there!

My wife is fair skinned so I am actually doing her a favour keeping her out of the sun :)
 
Haha I take it you didn’t have the balls to say that to her? If you did you’re a braver man than me!
 
Already down loads on AP bets after losing lots through injury but still have Laurina @ 20's, Benie @ 4's , Tiger @5's , Al Dancer@12's, Delta @20's and Klassical Dream at 16's to keep me dreaming.

When was Laurina 20/1 for the CH?

14/1 was the biggest I ever saw her at... I was pleased with my 12s :p
 
What’s about at the moment at a big price (25-1 plus) that’s great value?

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.
