Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

Laurina is going chasing surely?

Certainly in the question for her, but I would expect her to be shorter in the Mares than anything else.

Samcro I am hoping I could get 10s and that would be worth a free bet or 2.

Yeah fair point. 8/1 for the Arkle which is absolutely daft, if anything she needs a longer trip...

Yeah I'll be jumping all over Samcro any race at any sort of handy price. Expecting a monster season from him once they give him priority over their other novice chasers.
 
Added Carefully Selected to the RSA market last night hoping he’d oblige today. Can’t believe there was evens available yesterday had a packet on.......went off 1/3. Nice performance for his seasonal appearance, jumped & travelled lovely but my heart could have done with a wider margin victory!

Have added him for the RSA next year at 33/1 e/w. He’ll be an 8 year old next season which might give him a little edge over most & already looks a proven stayer and coming from a successful PTP background you’d hope he’ll enjoy jumping a fence!

Nothing original here but Altior 5/2 and Buveur D'Air 5/1 look OK to me.
Altior may well step up for the King George but I then expect him to come back for a third champion chase even though there's talk about a Gold Cup.
The lure of three 2 mile championships and a place in history is likely to be too much to refuse....
 
I think Patrick will already be eyeing Carefully Selected up for the 4 miler.........
Laurina is an interesting one, I think it it’s purely down to Willie she’d go down the Mares Hurdle route but the owners seem far more sporting and might fancy a crack at bigger targets

Especially if the 3 in the RSA are as good as they look, then it may also be the much safer option.

Absolutely, proper RSA that but I just don’t believe Altior will get a Gold Cup trip, he may well get a Ryanair trip but I’m not convinced you give up a shot at history for a non championship race.
 
Racing Post tips for next year are in tomorrow’s paper; don’t suppose out of any interest anyone kept a record of what they tipped up last year?

A 3 in a row is tempting for sure considering he'd only be the second horse to do so but I really think they're all itching for further. Nico most certainly wants him to go up in trip and you'd imagine Nicky does too...and the owners surely have their ears burned by the two. It'll be interesting to see.

I certainly couldn't back Altior for the QMCC any time soon... Hopefully he trashes Cyrname in the Celebration Chase for the record and to convince them that it is time to see what Altior is really hiding within.
 
Think the 16/1 slybet have for band of outlaws any race looks appealing. He was a big fancy all week and won better than the margin suggested. I think they’ll either line him up for another handicap or might even be good enough for a champ hurdle

Interested in what people think of the QMCC market.

Altior at 3/1 but he surely must go up in trip! Doesn’t seem like he would want 3miles at Cheltenham to me, but could you really see him entered in the Ryanair?

Le Richebourg and Cilaos Emery would look to be value at 20/1

I had some 10s Cilaos Emery for the Arkle but getting involved at this stage after only having 3 runs in over two years is to risky for me.
 
This years are:
Tom Park-A Plus Tard (Champion Chase 33/1 and Ryanair 20/1)
Graeme Rodway-Espoir D’Allen (Champion Hurdle 6/1)
Ben Hutton-Frodon (Ryanair 16/1)
David Jennings-Buveur D’Air (Champion Hurdle 8/1)
Tom Segal-Bright Forecast (RSA 50/1)
Paul Kealy-Klassical Dream (Champion Hurdle 10/1)
Tom Collins-Topofthegame (Gold Cup 10/1)
Richard Birch-Al Dancer (Arkle 33/1)
Keith Melrose-Delta Work (Gold Cup 25/1)
Nick Watts-Defi Du Seuil (Ryanair 12/1)
Maddy Playle-Lostintranslation (Gold Cup 33/1)
Alan Sweetman-Blue Sari (Supreme Novices 16/1)
 
Just requested Defi to win any race, Sky put it up at 6s. If you fancy him for the QMCC take the 20s at Sky rather than 8 at 365
 
Defi looked like 2m 4 was perfect so would t be keen on QMCC but Ryanair....
 
Oddschecker do not seem to have Any odds up yet ? Did like A Plus Tard

Yes, very impressive winner. Put it in Yankee yesterday with three horses who are still improving and may well retain their crowns, Al Boum, Paisley and Espoir d’Allen.
 
I've taken Odds Boosts on BAND OF OUTLAWS to win the Champion Hurdle at 44/1, DEFI DU SEUIL for the Ryanair at 17.5/1, and TOPOFTHEGAME at 17/5/1 for The Gold Cup. All with William Hill, they are all shorter now.

Also have 22/1 CITY ISLAND Stayers Hurdle and 22/1 CILAOS ENERY Champion Chase, which are still available.

Backed BAND OF OUTLAWS at Odds Boost of 35/1 (from 33/1) with Paddy Power this afternoon. First time I have seen PP offer Odds Boosts.
 
I couldn’t have the other 3 mentioned at the odds... Wouldn’t be backing anything at less than 20s this early. I think TOTG has a big day GC next year.

Fair enough, but if any go on and win at Punchestown or Aintree they will will be shorter.
