Who is everyones idea of the best value bet in the Cheltenham ante post markets at the moment?

I'd put up Majborough at 14s for Ryanair:
  • Previous festival winner
  • Has the ability (if he sorts his jumping out)
  • New course should suit him better
  • Still only a 6 year old so might not have hit his peak yet.
There are a few negatives, namely his jumping, but i think he's the one horse that may shorten dramatically if they step him up in trip. I also think they'll go for the Gold Cup with Fact To File so that will open the door for Maj to run in the Ryanair.

As usual , working out , = guessing for me ,
where all the green and gold horses go .
Is going to be risky .
Reading , mullins comments recently and I thought he gave the impression that Fact to File , would go Ryanair.??.
You'd imagine Kaid d'authie , and possibly Inothewayurthinkin would be gold cup bound . ??.
Majborough , and Meetmebythesea possibly for the Ryanair. ??.
Dino blue nailed on for mares chase .
The New Lion , Impose Toi - stayers hdl ??.
Narciso Has - arkle ?, ch hdl. ?.
J.P. will probably buy a Bumper horse nearer the time . ??.
I've forgotten the name of the Potential Triumph horse .. ?
---------------------------
Back to the subject however ...
I have backed Majborough @ 14's and Meetmebythesea @ 25's for the Ryanair.
But of the two , I think Maj. The most likely Runner., and good value ...
I am sticking to the same race , for my selection - Koktail Divin . @16-1.
Obviously beaten in the b.a.n.c. last festival .
Then won at Aintree .,
being aimed for the Ryanair this time according to h.d.B.- comments . 👍.

My answer to your question is AIR OF ENTITLEMENT.
Trained by Henry DeBromhead who's got a good Cheltenham Festival record.
She is 2 wins from 2 visits in the middle of March, this alone often does for me.
Trainer confirmed staying over hurdles, The Mares Hurdle the highly likely target, like her a lot.
Opponents are Selma De Vary who is improving but was beaten there last March.
Wodhooh looks Stayers bound, Brighterdaysahead isn't in love with the track and Golden Ace I think isn't quite good enough, unless they all fall like her CH win.
She'll do for me.

I have added him to my book but I think his jumping may well continue to let him down before Cheltenham. In which case might he not revert to hurdling especially if Willie is light in that direction. So I have backed him for ch Hdle at big odds on the exchanges (130/1).
