Cheltenham 2015

Have any of ye done the life changing multi’s yet?

I’ll do them on the day. And a couple across the week on the Tuesday.

Anyone know when William Hill go NRNB? To the best of my knowledge they were considerably later than everyone else last year ie right up to a day or two before?

Did a speculative AP EW Yankee this afternoon

Gilgamboa -Arkle 10/1
Parlour Games- Neptune 12/1
The young master - RSA 16/1
Ltnt Colnel- WH- 12/1

As likely that none of them will end up in those races but that’s built into the prices I suppose[/QUOTE]

Apart from Gilgamboa this is looking ok

[QUOTE=“Mac, post: 1086410, member: 109”]Not backing ante post this year but my thoughts if I was.

Supreme - can’t have Douvan at current price. Visually impressive but too short. Would like to see where Identity Thief goes and where Willie divvies up the rest of his. Picture should be a lot clearer after this weekend.

Arkle - UDS should win doing handstands. The race should cut up so the 16s about Clarcam e/w looks intersting as it could be a very small field.

Champion Hurdle - Jezki at 6s e/w would be my bet.

Neptune - Identity Thief question again. One to pick through after the weekend.

RSA - would be worried if Don Policy goes there without a prep run. Coneygree at 8s e/w would be my bet.

Champion Chase - Champagne Fever at 8s e/w as mentioned on the thread previously.

JLT - torn between Gilgamboa, Shanahans Turn and Le Vent DAntan. Hoping 2 will decide to go elsewhere.

Ryanair - would love to see the Don winning but Ballycasey would be my bet at 14s.

World Hurdle - Lieutenant Colonel tipping nicely away under the radar at 12s.

Triumph - wouldn’t touch until Munir decides what horse he wants to run in it. If Fiscal Focus turns up it could be interesting.

Albert Bartlett - starting to agree with Fenway on Martello Tower.

Gold Cup - Smad Place at 25s ew.[/QUOTE]

3 weeks on and what has changed.

Supreme - Identity Thief bombed out. Still wouldn’t touch Douvan at current price. The race could cut up badly so I think there’s value in Sizing John e/w at 33’s. His Grade 1 win will be tainted by Nichols Canyon unseating but Sub Lieutenant franked the form somewhat in Thurles yesterday. He shouldn’t win but at 33’s I think he’s worth a small few quid each way.

Arkle - no real change. Disappointed Smashing is going here rather than the JLT.

Champion Hurdle - Jezki best price 5’s now. Would still be my bet. A pity Mark Walsh won’t ride Kitten Rock now but if he’s given pacemaking duties I wouldn’t be surprised to see him running into a place.

Neptune - too many fucking Mullins horses involved. Nichols Canyon could turn out to be massive value at 4/1. Has done more than Faugheen this time last year and by this stage Faugheen was close to 2/1 from what I remember. The bullishness behind Windsor Park is very interesting too.

RSA - I still think Coneygree could line up here. Would have liked some of the 8’s. I think they’ve sorted out Very Wood too and I’d be tempted to take the fancy e/w prices on him.

Champion Chase - Champagne Fever into 6’s now. If Hidden Cyclone doesn’t run here then Shark needs a kicking.

JLT - of the 3 mentioned above, 1 is now dead and the other 2 may not travel to Cheltenham now. Needs further study.

Ryanair - Ballycasey can go fuck off now. fenways shout on Eduard looks a good alternative.

World Hurdle - Lieutenant Colonel now as short as 8’s.

Triumph - was hoping Fiscal Focus would turn up. Well impressed by Barry Connells one that pissed in last weekend. Think he’s around 25’s at the moment.

AB - No real change here.

Gold Cup - Still think Smad Place is a decent price.

What does Gilgamboa not turning up do to the overall bet? Do AP multiples not get voided or is that just straight accums?

Assume Gilgamboa just treated as a loser

Aintree is this years Cheltenham :wink:

Where can I expect my annual payday on Flaxen Flare to come from eh?!

Very Wood more likely to go for the National Hunt Chase on day one, no?

He said at the handicap weights launch this week that Gigginstown wanted VW to go for RSA and Wounded Warrior for the 4 miler.

Aintree Hurdle in the betting without Bayan market

Blasphemy

Very Wood will go for the 4 miler
Wounded to go for the RSA

Tough choice for Davy

Huh ??

Not a chance he’d get off Bayan

Was only jesting myself but Flaxen nearly paralysed him in Cork.

Elliott has mentioned the race for both of them. Not often in sport you get 2 best friends going against each other.

Horse racing :clap:

How do they whittle down the foxhunters to 24 or whatever it is? 45 are entered at this point in time, just the highest of official ratings again i assume? Was Salsify injured last year that he missed it?

Yep he was injured. Presume its narrowed down at the 5 day stage.
