Cheltenham 2019 Ante-Post bets

Paddy Power now gone 10/1 Samcro so had a little bit more.

More than likely he will start at an intermediate distance with a view to stepping up. Something will need to go wrong if that doesn't happen. If he does suffer a reverse then he would suddenly look a far less solid proposition for any race.
 
Got told off a reliable source that chante niege will be the mares novice horse for next year!
 
That 40/1 bet you had on Presenting Percy to win next years gold cup looks good now!, nice one.

He's 7/1 best price now and still think it's worth taking also Might Bite at 7s and Native River at 8s. Imo it's good to have those 3 on side If they make it back to the gold cup next year.
 
Rock de baune a nice one to watch today with a view to the future.
Finished just infront of what I believe to be 1 of, if not THE ricci novice next season KLASSICAL DREAM. Klassical dream looks a typical one mullins would have plenty of time to get improvement out of. And has ran in very good company and been left as a novice by the vendor for a reason.

Personally, I couldn't entertain backing Thistlecrack again. He has missed too much racing because of injuries for him to be a factor in graded race imo.
 
Yes I tend to agree with you. Such a shame in my opinion. I enjoyed him at his peak. I only asked as he's quoted at 12/1 for the King George. If they put a zero after the 12 id maybe consider it. I would though love to see him fit again and winning races. Whether they're graded races or not.
 
Arkle
LAURINA 25-1 Arkle is worth taking a chance on.
That and Paloma Blue that's already been mentioned at 20-1 would be a good start for this race.
Both with PP
 
Apples Jade is 5/1 for the mares

That’s very tough to overlook


I also think BBB will be the Albert Bartlett horse for Gigginnext year, same route Don Poli and his win was only 5 seconds slower than Samcro Ballymore

BBB won’t be a novice next year.. I think they’ll go chasing with him
 
I think your right, which would mean samcro would go jewson? They’ve also got Dortmund park to slot in somewhere

HF - the Martin Pipe and Ballymore are ran on different courses so impossible to compare times imo. It was a top performance by BBB though and he'll surely be running in graded races over fences.
 
New to this site..but here goes..anybody out there think djakadam at 50/1 for 2019 Ryanair chase with pp as good value?ran decent last few gold cups,but reckon next year will drop him back in trip as chances of winning gold cup gone now..but defo a good traveller in races so Ryanair chase could be just right..Matt chapman always harping on to rich Ricci bout idea too..

He'll only be 10 still.
It'd be a little surprising for them to go for the Gold cup again IMO.
He would not be 50-1 if he lined up in the Ryanair. He'd be considerably less if his prep runs have been useful.
However, he may not even come to cheltenham as they may well have other options for this race in Douvan, Min, Benie Des Dieux, and that's just the Ricci horses.
He'll also have some second season novices especially something like Bamako Moriviere.
Probably not good enough to win IMO.

Is the new course not seen as more a stamina test making the gap in times more impressive?
 
Didnt elliot mention several times after the Ballymore that samcro would step back in trip?
I wouldnt be suprised if hes next years arkle winner
 
Been a ghost on the forum for quite some time but looking forward to contributing! gotta give a shout out to all you guys who have helped me over this festival, too many to name!!

Anybody aware of any firms that allowed you to combine selections in the Any Race market last year?

Nearly certain I remember Sky allowing it at one stage, but was quickly revised.
 
I think you’d have to request a price and they will then add it to your account, William Hill did that for me last year
