Your e/w Antepost Chelt Yankee??

My selections are horses I consider to be value prices and also horses that I think will be running in the selected races. I included 2 bigger priced fancies for the spirit of it. As we come closer to the festival the races will cut up and in theory the prices of my selections should contract, in theory!! I have focused on the novice races as due to the relatively unexposed nature of the horses I can get bigger prices.

For Non Stop - Jewson Novice Chase (currently best price 8/1)
Of the horses at the top of the market Peddlers Cross, Al Ferof and Invictus will most likely be targeting the Grade 1's while Bog Warrior probably wont travel because it tends to be good ground. However Charlie Mann has stated that For Non Stop is a definite runner in the Grade 2 Jewson. This horse has some very impressive Grade 1 form this season including narrow defeats to Al Ferof and Cue Card before impressively landing a Grade 1 at Newbury, being value for more than the 2L winning margin. He has good festival form from last year when falling at the last in the Coral Cup when 2nd and trip and ground should suit. I think the main threat will be Champion Court if he lines up. I think with all the likely withdrawals For Non Stop could be favourite on the day. I just hope the 2 falls at the track haven't left any mental scars.

Sous Les Cieux - Neptune Investments Novice Hurdle (currently best price 16/1)
People will immediately say that getting beat in his last prep run by 50/1 Beneficcient does not entitle this horse to win the Neptune, However i disagree, that was a tactical race and if it had to be run over the Neptune distance of 2m4f instead of 2m2f the fast closing Sous Les Cieux would have had a cosy win and we would be looking at a shorter price. Aslo Captain Conan & Cash and Go were well behind. The stiff 2m4f looks tailor made for this horse. I admit if Simongsig, Boston Bob and Fingal Bay all turn up for this race it will look bad for his chances but i think its a chance worth taking.

Tetlami - Supreme Novices Hurdle (currently best price 16/1)
If Simonsig does go for the Neptune as Barry Geraghty has stated would be his preference it will be bad news for Sous Les Cieux but good news for Tetlami who could then be the Seven Barrows first string and the price will contract immediately. This horse beat Vulcanite by 4L conceding 5lbs while Montbazon beat Vulcanite by 7L off levels yet Montbazon is a 10/1 vs Tetlami 16/1. He won a bumper at the track which shows he handles the undulations and the way he finished strongly up the Sandown hill suggests the stiff Cheltenham finish will suit. There are no Cue Card/Dunguib type "certs" this yr in what looks an open renewal. To go through the opponents; Steps To Freedoms form has taken a few knocks while Darlan’s last visit to Prestbury resulted in an nose victory over a 120 rated opponent, he looks a flat track specialist. Cinders And Ashes and Midnight Game havent beaten much of note so Tetlami looks worth a punt.

Al Ferof - Arkle Chase (currently best price 5/1)
In a yankee it is good to have one that you consider almost certain to hit the frame and while the other selections may be somewhat speculative it is very difficult to see Al ferof not being involved in the business end of the Arkle. He has top class form winning 2 of what would be considered trial races for this, as well as being far from disgraced behind 166 rated Somersby against the older horses last time out. The fav could hack up  but at the prices I will take the chance that Sprinter Sacre is a bridle horse who will find nothing coming up the hill when the chips are down.
