Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

ComplyOrDie said:
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.

20/1 bet365 mate
 
I’d have Envoi Allen down for the Ballymore for what it’s worth
 
I’ve backed Midnight Run for the Albert Bartlett BC, just a hunch

and saw midnight run listed in the Ballymore and Al Bartlett.
was hoping to find out more about the horse.

After a decent couple of days I’ve added
McFabulous any race 22/1 1U
Saldier Champion Hurdle 33/1 1U (stopped messing around and did actual money instead of trying to double and treble free bets running into him!)
Hazel Hill - 1.5U at 20/1 after a double with Enable at 4/5

100% agree Saldier at 33/1 is a must for any ante post punt. He would have beat the eventual champion hurdler last time out but for falling at the last (you might want to take a look). Mullins stable tour at beginning of last season he said he saw Saldier as a future champion hurdler but not that season 18/19 but for following season 19/20.I haven't seen any update on why he never raced again after that fall ,perhaps a injury or more likely being minded for this forthcoming season (just my hunch) , as he is a big boy looking at him and probably got bit more physical development and growing into his frame.The emergence of Klassical Dream doesn't matter as different owners , But Saldier looks way above average to my eye.
 
As with all of Willie's, I wouldn't be having more than a token bet on anything until there's word from connections or the first atr stable tour is published. The winter horses come back in the week after Galway (interesting to compare with Paul Nicholls who is almost a month ahead of that) so there will be nothing of note before then.
I'm hoping to be down there in mid-August and will pass on anything that isn't embargoed.
 
Anyone know who to add ante post horses to the exchanges these days? Will they do it through Twitter requests?
 
All over Saldier, but in the any race market.

Could well be the case Sean, just my own belief and reasoning, but of course you may well end up being right. The betting suggests Ballymore at the moment.

I'd side with this too if i was punting this far out. Always liked the look of him for chasing, but it's possible he won't go there and stick over hurdles.

Is that market listed on oddschecker yet?


Certainly makes strong appeal in the any race market for me too.... and as HurricaneFly/TheBeast highlighted - it also stuck with me about Mullins saying he's a potential CH horse of the future.

No danger of the price disappearing anytime in the next couple of months but interesting nonetheless!

Respect your opinion 100% COD it’s made me double check my own thoughts but to me he’s shown enough pace & turn of foot over 2m to not change my opinion in the short term. Long term if he stays fit & healthy a serious tilt at the Gold Cup is definitely on the cards.

Would it not be better to just wait and see if they are keeping him over hurdles or not? If he stays over hurdles then it’ll be the champion so take the 33/1 instead of the 20s any race. If they decide chasing then the play is the 20/1 any race!

Probably a fair point Kauto. I wanted him in my book early, so went this route. Of course, I will go in again if hurdles is confirmed later down the line and he is still 33's.

I don't think he'll go off bigger than 22's (with the boost, backed multiple times), for the CH anyway if he does go hurdling again. 22's is probably a little shy of where I would have wanted it to be but I took the plunge anyway.
 
Happy to take the risk on him staying over hurdles, however as I’m typing this I am thinking how Any Race would cover off the handicap aspect of things aswell. I’m sure his 153 rating will rise though. He will only be 6 next year so plenty of
Time to go chasing if that was in their thoughts aswell.

Been talked off as a CH horse for a while by Mullins, Laurina and Melon are both going chasing so I doubt Mullins will plan to go into things with just one potential CH regardless of how impressive Klassical dream was and is.
 
I hadn't seen it confirmed that Laurina was going chasing?
 
Me neither and I’d be surprised if she did
