Chelters 2016 Antepost bets

I got told a couple of years ago the horse has blood vessel problems and needs a good rest between races, rarely runs well if back out soon after a race.
If he has 2 or 3 months between races he's a different animal, hacked up in the festival Plate, got done in a photo at Aintree last season and wasn't a million miles behind Cue Card in the Charlie Hall, if he gets there well rested there will be worse 25/1 shots, or 12/1 shots come to that....

I backed him at 33's last year for the Ryanair but it was a shame he didn't run, he would have been upped there judged on his Aintree effort.
 
Silver Concorde 25s
Vigil 33s

ew supreme - neptune double

linked bumper form, trainer form and probably same jock.
 
I backed Ballynagour yesterday for the Ryanair at 25/1 with 365 and he is now 12's. Someone must have lumped on and it wasn't me.

It was tipped by Value Bet on the sporting life !

Value Bet Cheltenham Festival 2016
1pt win Ballynagour in Ryanair Chase at 25/1 (NRNB)

Taken your two Mayo and added Martello tower 25/1, world hurdle, the place treble pays over 450/1

Been meaning to start popping on since before xmas, but been so busy that I've never gotten round to it.

Had a quick scan just now, and some very toasty positions ITT!

I've got a few good antepost bets, along with some terrible ones, lol.

I'll try and get around to posting them up this week if I can, and best of luck to all in the meantime :)
 
I've got a few ante post Yankees I'm looking forward to:

no more heroes - RSA - 7/2
Bellshill - Neptune - 5/1
Limini - Mares Novice - 7/1
Ivanovich Gorbatov - t 6/1
£2 e/w stake

Djakadam - gold cup - 5/1
Un De Sceaux - queen mother - 6/4
Josies Orders - triumph - 4/1
ivanovich Gorbatov - triumph - 6/1
£1 e/w stake

Sceau Royal - triumph - 20/1
vroum vroum mag - ryan air - 14/1
Lucky pass - champion bumper - 14/1
pont alexander - hunt chase - 8/1
up for review - albert Bartlett - 5/1
50p e/w super yankee

getting excited now, 5 weeks 5 days!!
 
Some great bets there GJT, especially the top one!!

I've just been going through my bets and I've somehow managed to put the following treble on twice by accident:
Min 5/1
Limini 7/1
Don Poli 6/1

Although a combination of Shaneshill (JLT), Bellshill (Albert Bartlett) or Volnay de Thaix (JLT) are in around 30% of multiples :(

Don't think you'd have much of a problem finding a buyer for the duplicate bet if you wanted....

What's Enda Bolger doing running Josie's Orders in the triumph?!? ;)

Aside from that, bets are looking good!
 
I'm hoping I'm in a position to trade on the Friday morning.

Have you got any handicap fancies Ista? I'm interested to see if Elliott gives Vercongitrix (apologies for the poor spelling) an entry in the Martin Pipe. I'm sure they're plotting for a big handicap win with this one.
 
FM - I tend to steer clear of the handicaps until weights are out and even then I'll listen more to what's discussed at the preview evening and who has been running with the handbrake on for the year.

...how long have you got :p #handbrakes
 
Yeah true.
Davy Russell gave us a serious rundown on the Irish handicappers last year, he went on for ages about one of Tony Martins who he said had been deliberately run up the back side of tiring horses, whip air shots from the jockey, he said on one occasion the jockey threw his whip away the horse was responding so well, great entertainment and useful info....
 
Russell is excellent at previews.

Great judge and heard he makes some serious dosh trading horses.
 
Oooops, meant the cross country chase for josiese orders there, my bad, was getting carried away thinking about the next horse, hope ivanovich gorbatov runs well this weekend
 
im going to stick this here...

Asked how many horses he would be running at the Festival, Nicholls replied: “Not as many as normal, that’s for sure. We’ve got some nice juveniles for the Triumph and the Fred Winter but most of the other [novice hurdlers] aren’t good enough or strong enough or done enough yet this year.

“There’s no point running horses just for the sake of turning up. If they’ve got no chance, I’m not going to run them. You’ve got to be realistic.

“We have still got some really nice horses to run, some nice horses in the handicaps.
 
Placed a mad Yankee which will probably make me look mad within a couple of hours
Jers girl, 20/1 triumph
Felix Yonger, 12/1 Ryanair
Next sensation, 14/1 Grand annual
Tombstone, 12/1 Supreme
Pays a fortune (Mayo style )
