Chelters 2016 Antepost bets

Hi again guys..I'm in on Min at 12s down with Faugheen ,Annie, Douvan and Un De Seaux for enough, in Yankees trebs and singles..really praying for the magical Ruby Tuesday...and happy new year to you all
 
Looks like the AP mares hurdle could be in doubt judging by Ruby's comments on VVM

Vroum Vroum Mag (6yo gelding, Voix Du Nord — Naiade Mag) Trainer: Willie Mullins

She made her seasonal debut over hurdles at Clonmel recently and won every bit as easily as she was entitled to.

Where she’ll go next I don’t know, but she is a very, very talented mare. We don’t know how good she is, but that victory over hurdles has opened up unlimited avenues for her, and the OLBG Mares’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival is one of those options.
 
I have VVM in an early season ap bet for the Ryanair, I'm really surprised they're considering sticking to hurdles, I suppose it reflects the strength of Riccis team
 
Me too, I've got her in the Ryanair in another tasty treble with Douvan and Faugheen. All depends on Vautour I think, if he goes gold cup then there is space for VVM in the Ryanair, if he goes Ryanair, Annie will go stayers with VVM in the mares.
 
I can only see Annie running in the Mares as this is Ricci's pet and the camp want a festival win for her.She cudnt win the world hurdle 2 years ago when she was at her peak so seems to me the Mares race is the one to aim at.Mullins wudnt run her first time out after a small setback in the world hurdle, and VVM is only a back up for Mares if Annie dosent make the race herself.
 
Thinking of doing a Mullins Goliath for the festival. Massive payouts but hard part is picking the right horses for the right races. Definitely have 4 and just 4 more needed. Maybe yorkhill-Neptune, really want a piece of Vautour in gold cup
but would like to NRNB 1st

I heard this pet story too. Mrs Ricci loves Annie Power.

That's the problem for us all, listening to Wylie yesterday they seem to think Bellshill is both faster and the better traveller, so it looks like Yorkhills target depends on what they decide for Bellshill, but I don't get the impression they think Yorkhill would win if they both turn up in the same race
 
When Channel 4 put Wylies words to Willie though he said that Yorkhill is actually the faster of the two. Wylie also said he lets Willie pick the races as he's so good at placing them. Bellshill wins today again you'd be pretty confident It'll be Bellshill for the Neptune and Yorkhill in the Supreme.

Hope so Bb, I've backed them for those races, but I have a bit on Yorkhill for the Neptune too, I think though that the Bellshill being faster quote came originally from Ruby, and Willie said he would speak to Ruby about race selection

Some bookies are offering a price about winning any race at the festival, you'll lose some value with price but at least you don't have the dilemma of guessing racing plans....

That is true. Oh the fun of trying to predict Willie Mullins
 
William Hill are offering 16/1 on Mullins winning the 3 novice hurdles.

forgive the spam :)

I've had a little go on Champagne West for the Plate. His first run of the season was quite impressive behind Village Vic giving plenty of weight.

Current mark of 152 doesn't leave much room to manouvre LR.
He was raised 2lb for that defeat by Village Vic at Cheltenham, if he were to get his head in front between now and March I don't think he'd qualify, I think the Plate has a ceiling of 155....
 
Might have some spare change on a Mullins/Ricci day 1 6-fold..

Min - Supreme
Douvan - Arkle
Vroum Vroum Mag - Ultima Business Solutions Handciap Chase (unlikely target but are they keeping her to hurdles to keep chase mark down?)
Faugheen - Champion Hurdle
Annie Power - Mares Hurdle
Pont Alexandre - 4 Miler

that could happen
 
It was just something I spotted. I know how Ricci has said he would like to win all four championship races but imagine the scenes if he were to win the first 6 races of the festival. Think the 6 fold pays around 2700/1

That 4 championship races thinking is what has been behind my suggestion of Vautour for the Champ chase, rather than 2 in the Gold cup, and dropping to 2 miles for a championship race rather than the less prestigious Ryanair
 
Have backed VVM for Ryanair and Annie Power for World Hurdle in Bet365 NRNB double. Expect one or other will run in Mares so bet will revert to single but will trade much lower than NRNB price.
