Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

Well after the run of Buildmeupbuttercup on tues at Royal Ascot ( looks like its got some engine to me ) What do we think for Cheltenham?
 
Added Lamarckise (25/1) to my portfolio, for the Mares Novice. Was keen on her for the Triumph this year, but she was never seen. Suspect she'll be a fair bit useful.

Have 3 for the race now already, which is unlike me. Gypsy Island (25/1), Princess Vega (27.63/1) & Lamarckise.

Also added Andy Dufresne & Dlauro for the Ballymore.
 
Evening all, just realised earlier today that on William hill to win any race market they will let you put 1 selection from it in a multiple with selections from another race, had a free bet to use on there so did defi du seuil (ryanair) and minella indo (any race) reason being he is 14 to 1 any race and only 10 to 1 rsa, I remember coral allowing this sort of bet last year but bot hills, in my eyes could be quite useful seen as hills any race price are usually pretty decent
 
Cheer's Nwfb89. definitely worth knowing that, Ladbrokes are also 14-1 for the R.S.A - Minella Indo.
But not sure about the any race price.
 
Thanks Nwfb89, that will come in handy for sure.

Had noticed Minella Indo being 14's 'any race' but only 10's for the RSA, made little sense to me, especially now they are letting you add them to multiples.

Edit: This might be certain accounts. I am unable to do them.

Minella Indo is now best priced 12/1 for the RSA.

Jeeeeezus.


Can't really be bothered to find where I was arguing the case for him but I am sure he was 20/1 or at least 16/1?

No juice at all in that price... I'm 'behind' on number of bets placed compared to this time last year and in terms of stake but not looking to rectify that at the moment.
 
Agree now...and happy with 18-1 earlier as really like horse

Though 14s still better value than Champ at 10s.....thats really crazy!
 
Horse dont see getting enough mentions on here is the legend himself......9-4 (with PP boost) is surely great multiples fodder.....as essentially betting on fitness

Tiger usually gets a spin in Nov/Dec when only half fit....but even then price came in last year

Add Tiger to Minella for a Weds double and suddenly looks better :)
 
I would also make a case for Dynamite Dollars for QM.....50-1 (more with boost) at Hills seems very long compared to horses that ran in Ankle

Most of his form reads well and went to Paul Nicholls stable few weeks ago.....QM is def the target

For me one of best value long prices on festival and a must for books

My QM book looks pretty heathy with DD at 56, Chacun at 25s and Min at 20s

I don't think adding one horse to another makes it better, it just increases the risk, and doesn't retract from the fact that the price is still wrong.

As for TR's price there is no way I would be backing him right now, the price is disgusting, Bet365 have him @ 4/6, that's criminal IMO. I can't see him being odds on on the day.

I don't think he's being mentioned because there isn't much to say.... he's the most famous horse in training so not exactly under the radar, especially not for the bookies at that price either.

I agree with CoD that just putting him in multiples doesn't actually make it good value...if you are willing to take the risk he turns up on the day, 9/4 would be bigger than he went off (probably)... but not by a life changing amount... I'd rather have the money in my pocket until March and have twice as much on at evens than back him now personally.

One thing you could consider, if you are compelled to back Tiger Rol lnow, is have bets that you have each weekend "rolling on" to him... that's something I've done in the past if I've been adament a horse is a racing certainty.
 
Joseph O’Briens Midnight Run is one iv decided to get onside Antepost. 2/3 in bumpers only finding the potentially top class & subsequent Champion Bumper winner Envoi Allen too hot to handle at Navan so the form lines are positive.

Full brother to Willie Mullins’ perennial entry tease Carefully Selected. There’s no chance we’ll get an Irish winter like we had in 2018/19 so hopefully the same frustrations won’t reapply. His breeding suggests he’ll be best suited to the 3m trip & Hills price of 22/1 with the boost is a fair one despite me hoping for a little more juice with his slightly under the radar results to date.

Is that any Race SeanRock ??. I was looking on oddschecker yesterday ,.
and saw midnight run listed in the Ballymore and Al Bartlett.
was hoping to find out more about the horse.
 
Band Of Outlaws has an outing at Tipperary tomorrow evening at 7.20pm 2M Grade 3 Grimes Hurdle.

Often used as a Galway Hurdle prep, BOO carries a 7lb penalty and is already rated 145, so a good win may take the Galway Hurdle out of range. It’s an interesting move to race on the faster ground of the summer and if successful here and Galway could be a launch of a Champion Hurdle campaign.
 
Who are likely to be the main Mullins/Henderson horses for the Supreme this year? Mate of mine who comes to Cheltenham on Tuesday every year gets wed soon and was going to get them some Supreme antepost vouchers as a gift (they want money but this is far more fun)
 
Fly Smart is the only one I’ve heard for Mullins so far.

Blackbow is still a novice but I would imagine will want further than 2m
 
Paz and Scooby mentioned Fly smart way back on this thread. I've had a little nibble .
Along with Blue Sari - joey o'brien , and Malone road - gordon elliott ??.
 
Just keep backing Envoi Allen any race with the Hills boost as often as you can!

Probably the way to go, although I think EA will be a Bartlett horse myself, though trying to split any of one trainers horses up is a nightmare in itself, however I do enjoy a challenge and can see Elliott's lot looking something like this:

Supreme - Malone Road

Ballymore - Andy Dufresne

Bartlett - Envoi Allen

Needless to say I've already backed all 3 anyway now. Just waiting on a better bookmaker than Sky to add Envoi Allen to the Bartlett market so I can play a small trixie also.
