Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

Dallas Des Pictons off the mark 1st time of asking in a 2m 2f chase.Won by 20 lengths.But the 2nd fav took a tumble so dont know what it beat but happy to be on in any race :)
 
Anyone heard anything about Pipes Eden Du Houx? Trainers record at the festival is a negative but his form book reads very well.
 
Ultima/Grand National?

if he comes to Cheltenham at all

Really like him as a novice hurdle prospect too. fancied him strongly for the champ bumper before not being declared. Obviously been a long time since pipe had a horse go anywhere near in grade 1 novice hurdles.

Hoping he doesn't get messed around plotting him for a handicap somewhere. He could and should be better than that.

The Ascot bumper he won turned out to be good form indeed but he’s as likely to turn up in the Pertemps as he is being competitive in the main novice hurdles. You’d hope this horse is better than that and Pipe can get him to a decent level.

I should read more comments before I post. What he said :highly_amused:
 
...Eden du Houx 25-1 in the William Hill ‘any race’ market (before enhancement), if anybody thinks that represents value.
 
Had a message from Paul Nichols Racing today saying Chante Neige is not in training with them.
 
Sullivan states in Mark Howard book it’s gone to Paul Nicholls and he hopes it runs this season

And this is what i got from Nichols

With you all the way on LBAR in the KG. Think she is an incredible ew bet at 16's. Unbeaten at Kempton beating top novices Lostintranslation and Santini last Xmas and also gets that rediculously generous Mares allowance. She has a fantastic chance. Stuck £50 Ew on her so I hope we are both lucky!!

Nice! Good luck with that mate!
 
Chacun Pour Soi and Reserve Tank still 40/1 with skybet to both win any race
