Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

Except Minella pulled Rachel's arms out for the entire race and still pissed off up the hill whilst Allaho pretty much called it a day at the last. Someone said 4 miler for him! Not sure he'll see out the 3 miles leave alone nearly 4. JLT horse for me - if they can get him right. Watch the AB - came there swinging - found nothing when asked.

Yes he was beat but surely that reflects their respective prices? Both could improve for fences, one might more than the other but at the prices Allaho appeals a lot more to me than Minella Indo. I’m in the RSA camp for Allaho, reason being he was straight over hurdles at 3m winning that race beating minella Indo quite comfortable in a G3 after one flat race and then the 2 G1’s behind Minella Indo. Don’t see a drop in trip helping but time will tell.

Allaho had already ran over hurdles in france at listed level.
 
In reply to HFox - at over 25/1 .....

Sam Spinner is 33/1 for the RSA

Has the best hurdles form of any horse we expect to be staying novice chasing (I don't need to fact check that fully do I, he just does)

I expect a few to progress past him though, but he's rated 7lb clear of the current fav Champ after their novice chase debuts from what I can see on the RP too

So that's my arguement for him being a decent value pick at this stage.... albeit one I know won't be particularly hard to find alternatives too :)

Thanks Kev, and the RSA should be the plan for him. Definitely going to be some decent prices behind Champ for this race.
 
I’m skint at the moment but my next 2 bets AP bets are Footpad for the Gold Cup. Massive odds for horses who if fit and can prove he can last 3miles could be massive odds at 50/1

Yeah, the loyalty to the jockey means I can't see them going for the National Hunt Chase and he isn't going to go for a JLT after placing in a stayers. (Unlike Faugheen):highly_amused:
 
Do we think there’s any chance of Duc Des Genievres going for QMCC and A Plus Tard going for the Ryanair, if so 545/1 PP looks lovely
 
Is there an easy way I can find out previous winners of a particular race e.g previous winners of the dipper?

I'd agree, although I thought the same about the arkle in November last year.

He would need all of that and more to happen this time

He would need 8-10 horses to be pulled out and even then probably need the same luck he had in the Arkle (2 main rivals falling/unseating)

Fair enough, not sure either of those UR would have changed the result as he won quite cozy, obviously we’ll never know and probably wasn’t the strongest renewal, just thought 25s quite generous
