RSA Chase 2019

Would work out at 7/1 and 6/1 which is essentially Presenting Percy’s price as an RSA winner going for the Gold Cup

For that sort of bet I’d want 3 figures, if nothing else I’d want a biggger price than expected because I’d be waiting 18 months to collect
 
who is this with Kev? Could be worth a couple of points. Really like him for RSA this year.

Ladbrokes but I'd follow the advice of FM and HF. Both excellent champion hurdles and know their onions in their new careers as forumites

Faugheen was the better Champion hurdler fwiw. :highly_amused::devilish:
 
Or put your two points on santini now, and if he's still in the mix for the RSA come march (possibly shorter)
back him for the gold cup 2020 before the RSA. likely odds of around 33's, unless he's odds on for the RSA.
like Kev did with PP & Monalee.

40s for Percy :devilish:
 
What a bet that is! Surely there isn't anyone on the planet with a bigger price at the moment.

LaLaLa.Notlooking.notlistening.LaLaLa .... I is Well Envious of that one Kev:sorrow::highly_amused:

Shrewd ticket that Kev. Hope it pays dividends I wouldn’t swap him for anyone else myself!

:highly_amused: It looks good today but a helluva long way to go... It is the opening thread in the 2019 ante post sticky though :)

Less than a month before the 2018 festival.... I've had my first bet for 2019 :devilish:

Presenting Percy 40/1 for the Gold Cup - currently on their specials page
Monalee is also 33/1 for the Gold Cup.

They're vying for favourtism for the RSA, and I would anticipate whichever won being single figures.

A lot of water to go under the bridge until then, but at the moment we have no STANDOUT Gold Cup contender this year (bar possibly Might Bite) and as for the novices, I see Presenting Percy and Monalee as the most obvious Gold Cup contenders next year...





If you don't blow your own trumpet every once in a while it gets rusty :very_drunk:
 
Kilbricken storm is entered up on friday at Cheltenham - 3-45. "matchbook time to move over novice chase "
 
Santini gone 6-1 now with P.P and B.fair -oddschecker.

That's the shortest price rsa horse iv ever seen . From memory no more heroes was pretty short but he wasn't 6/1. And I think alpha des obeaux was short enough too.
 
A sad indictment of how Cheltenham antepost markets are going :(

We were so lucky 5 or 6 years ago.

More of That and No More Heroes were both still 8/1 in November

I have a feeling Denman was priced similar to Santini at this time of year but not 100% sure.

I think you are right.

Harry Findlay said that they hoovered up all the double figures pretty much as soon as he was priced up.
