Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

Hederson said " Birchdale goes chasing in the Racing Post".
 
Any info From Henderson regrading Dickie Diver (4m?) and Likely Birchdale target ? ( I don’t get any RPost stuff at that price, lol)

Also Pic D’orhy from Nicholls ?

Id say 99% certain Birchdale JLT
50/50 Dickie going NHC or RSA
 
Love both horses Craigy, and both Ryanair prospects I feel. Be interesting to see how Willie splits up his ones coming out of novice company and his experienced horses.

Agree regarding the Ryanair possibly being best for both. I’ll be keeping an eye on entries over next few weeks, couldn’t ask for more from real steel at the weekend as a starting point.
 
Mark Howard on sporting life - 5 to follow, reckons Dickie Diver will be in the R.S.A . 07/10/19.
 
Was talking about this horse only last night, interesting to see where they go next with him. If it's into a G1 there aren't a raft of 3m G1s in Ireland. Durkan over 2m4 might suit him, but then they have a fair few that could show up there, including the other horse you mention. Not too sure what else there is for him. Sure Willy will find something.

Aye it’s a shame there are not more G1’s over the distance as would give willie and Sullivan something to think about if they chose to run him. Suppose not every horse has to have ran over the distance of a gold cup to prove it can get the distance but would like to see him over at least 3m and do it well, time will tell.
 
Is there no lads/ corals any race markets?

Or am I blind?

A gorgeous and exciting type who won a Grade 2 at Cheltenham, but I got things wrong at the festival moving him up to 3m in the Albert Bartlett where he didn't stay, although we had Champ for the Ballymore. Birchdale goes chasing and could easily scale the heights.

Had a good novice hurdle campaign and we'll look for a novice chase on soft ground, which he loves; an exciting prospect.
 
Have DD and Pic any race...

Birchdale not backed yet.. The way Hendo talks about them all, all destined to be superstars... Rathill one I liked but steering clear of now
 
Henderson is not a fan of the NH Chase so he'll do all he can to not have one in it.

Like last year? when he rolled over and let JP tickle his belly.

Where ever hes told they're going, he'll train them for it accordingly.

That didn't end well though so maybe JP and co will listen this time.
 
Always seem to have a ‘browser help’ jobbie pop up when I go to look at anything on SP nowadays.. any one know why ?

I have the same issue, someone said it was a result of one of the recent Apple updates on iphone, no idea how to correct it I’m afraid...
