Cheltenham Festival Best Ante-Post Bets

5 euro Heinz, Jezki 5s, Hurricane 4s, Champagne fever 8s, Oscar Whiskey 7s, Dynaste 5-2, Bobs Worth 3s. 50 euro double, Champagne & Oscar.

Only bet so far:

2pts Far West (Triumph) @ 10/1

Few Fever bets looking bit glooomy after today,still have 2 months to get back on track? Jezki very happy with position but he is shortish now,but as stated before he is best 2 mile novice in Ireland,think Henderson maybe providing dangers with River Maigue imo.

Neptune - Puffin Billy 10-1

Jewson - Captain Conan 5-1

Albert - Coneygree 8-1

Foxhunters - Tammy's Hill 10-1

Cond Hand Hurd - Oscar Nominee 20-1

1 pound super yankee with a win single on Tammy's !

(Hopefully being paid for by Dustin J leading the golf)

the new one 16-1 laddies neptune novice hurdle

the new one is a very likeable horse, think he could turn out to be a very good chaser in time.

Allegedly JP bought Jezki not happy about that, means Barry wont be riding?  Unless MCcoy rides MTOY which i doubt if they both show?

depends how far mtoy wins the betfair by :)

quite keen on NEW YEARS EVE for the supreme i know he's been brushed aside by river maigue. but its quite clear the he does handle the heavy ground didnt handle it in ire either. interesting ferson took him there tho.
first time out this year he traveled well until bout 2 out looked like he needed the run and hopefully the better ground will see him in better light.

Cant nt b tacken by Dynaste and im glad i got him on side early 24/1 20/1 16/1 ect in the season he's my main ante post bet at the moment. really no need to explain he done that him self! jumps travels and stays!!!

my champion hrd angle is im after an up and coming horse so ive gone for darlan and cotton mill for a place. wasnt very impressed wit darlan last year didnt jump well enough. bt always traved like a good horse and bt after seeing him in xmas hrd i changed my opinon. shocked how well he handled the ground and how he quicken upo on it. better ground and strong run race will suit even more. kind of got the same profile as binocular beaten in the supreme went on to win the champ!!

as for cotton mill just took a risk. nt even sure if he's goin for the champ as far as im aware not ran because of the ground. goes for tote hrd will need to run win that really in my opinon. have herd that he cud even go down the hcap route

other ante post

cpt chris

tarla ARKLE

Got far too many AP's to mention.

Best ones:

Sprinter 14/1
Dodging Bullets 20/1 ew
Grandouet 14/1
Hurricane Fly 11/2
Sir Des Champs 12/1
Monksland 30/1 (only pennies)

Worst ones:

Trifolium - Arkle
Last Instalment - Gold Cup
Alderwood - Arkle
Tataniano - Champion Chase
Noble Prince - Ryanair
Spirit Son - Champion Hurdle

Touch and Go if they run:

Flemenstar - Gold Cup 15/1
Sizing Europe - Ryanair 26/1
Cotton Mill - Champion Hurdle 70/1

Basically my Festival atm revolves around Sprinter and Grandouet because got them in tasty singles and a nice double.

Sprinter 14-1 for what

'Sprinter 14/1'. care to elaborate on what, when, where and how the hell.....?!!!

may have been on debut last season thats the only time i can imagine that price was knocking about......

Thing is I missed the 28/1 by about half an hour

365: 14/1 (still 50/50 whether to take it)
Laddies: 10/1
Patrick Power: 8/1
VC: 6/1
Hills: Wouldn't give me a price
Sid James: Wouldn't give me a price
Sky bet: Wouldn't give me a price
Sportingbet: Haven't got back to me

Haven't contacted Baldy, Tote, Koral or Susan Boyles.

Just read one of my posts from that thread and I said I thought he'd be about 8/1 after the Arkle

lay off nap!!!

Haven't decided yet Howdi.  Only got £25 win (although that's a big get for me).

After (hopefully if) he wins at Ascot, I'll see what his price does and decide then.

*bet

nice ticket wellchief :)

Cracking price Sprinter imagine you would have saver on day good luck.

On something else, not sure what though maybe just watch and enjoy and collect!

chiefy youve done the hard work pal id take what you deserve my old mucker

Not happy re Jezki now going stright to Festival before JP bought it was having one more run, stats are all against him now? Lets hope they are broken as has best form in book imo by long way of Irish, not sure best novice here, but maybe will have saver on River Maigue closer to event.

Second bet is a 'dark one' for the Supreme.

The first two home in the Tolworth looked very decent sorts. Pendra was out-stayed by Melodic Rendezvous in the end, but he was clear of the rest and his jumping was excellent. A fast-run 2m on slightly better ground should suit. Charlie Longson's update on the horse yesterday was pretty up-beat ("he will keep improving & improving this year").

2pts Far West (Triumph) @ 10/1
0.5pts Pendra (Supreme) @ ~ 90/1

Soft ground win double:
Churdle - Oscar Whisky 14/1
Gold Cup - Tidal Bay 20/1

See these two could be trialling for their Cheltenham Races against each other in a World Hurdle trial

CHAMP HDL
BINOCULAR 25/1

agree with both budd deff be soft going here m8 an think oscar whiskey is great e/w 33s on ere at min and can deff see tidal bay being placed just hope ruby rides him

Hoping Boston Bob can do business Thursday as on at 12s on here, owes me big time from last Festival when on at 7s to win any race. 4 main bets looking ok so far Jezki Grandouet Boston Bob and Sir Des Champs, last named maybe less confident than others at present may all change in few weeks.

Just the 5 backed in the Champion STS?!

And hasnt got the winner lol! Just jesting

Don't think he has stevo.....but the then again neither do you

You on Zark then roo,also got Hurricane Fly saver @9/2 may make up for last year when on at 5s big time. Where they running Zarkandar next would it be Wincanton i presume?

Looks like Grandouet vs Zark at Wincanton Stevo. Darlan at Sandown. Binocular to Leopardstown.

I am stevo at 16/14/10s. If PFN hadn't run him at Aintree I'd have chipped away all summer.

As far as a back up I'm going to wait until closer to the day to try and be more sure of the ground. Yeah likely to go Wincanton, possibly straight there.

Jezki @ 16s great call btw

ROR likely to be against Darlan at Sandown.

Grandouet i thought was going to Haydock but I'm guessing that meeting under threat. He may well beat Zark at Wincanton, just don't see him getting past up the hill

Had a few quid on So Young for the World Hurdle @big prices 100/1+think this race is wude ioen niw

Just the 5 backed in the Champion STS?!

You no me too well haha

As usual, almost all runners running for me, all each way bets and all prices and stakes combined carefully to ensure profit and still enough room to back another one or two in it

My only decent antepost bet is on Jezki, im fuming that he won't run again before the Festival

have my tent or yours at 20s , grandouet at 12s, une artiste at 16s  , boston bob at 12s and sir des champs at 8s....all each way !!good luck all anteposters....dreading non runners  !!!!

Few bets, none looking particularly inspired at the mo:

£30 Un Atout Supreme 33

£30 Cotton Mill CHurdle 40

£25 Overturn Arkle 7

£10ew Patent
Hurricane Fly 9/2
Champagne Fever 12 Neptune
SDC GC 7

£1ew Lucky
MTOY 20 Supreme
Champagne 11 Neptune
Overturn 7 Arkle
Kashmiri Peak 14 Triumph

Overturn 5/1 arkle 
Darlan 4/1 Champion hurdle
Grand crus 10/1 Ryan air
Diakala 12/1 triumph
Silvianaco Conti 7/1 Gold cup

1 E/W trebles
1 E/W 4 Folds
1 E/W accum

Un Atout nibble at 42s on here looking good for trade, very happy with back up to Jezki now!

Also got few doubles with Un Atout at 33s with Grandouet @11s and with Sir Des Champs and Conti in Gold Cup, good few exiting weeks ahead. Just hoping they all make it to post.

I have done the following with a view to laying, only small stakes as I prefer to do my betting in the day at the course when I get a feel for the day.

Tap night at 34 in the jewson laid too early at 28 as its much lower now
Wonderful charm at 80 in the world hurdle not laid yet as only have a small stake on
Grumeti at 46 laid at 36 - now out to 50
Overturn in the arkle at 7.8 laid at 7.2
Fago in the arkle at 27 laid at 17.5
Un atout in the supreme at 20 laid at 12.5

Not bad for some risk free bets on the day.

some nice trades there Simon.

I am waiting to trade out of a few myself.

Flemenstar at 16.5, Will be a trade out in running when he runs next.

Binocular 40 will trade out just before his next run against HF.

Fago at 22, still holding out for this one to contract a few more points.

Oscars Well at 32, Think he will beat Arvika next time out and Jessie will deffo re-route back to the Arkle. Will be a very nice trade if that goes to plan.

Just for small stake had a little play on Vaco Collognes at 180, but that's bit of a guess as we haven't seen him yet.

Like yourself if I play this well I should have a few free bets to go to war with.

Vaco Collonges Champion Bumper

Don't think he'll win it, and maybe another year for him, think it would be a big ask for him to even make it this year,  but got £18 @ 1000's on Bold Sir Brian for The Gold Cup.........stanger things have happened but ain't that lucky

Whose horse is vaco collonges?

my bad vago collonges typo.

"I am also looking forward to running another of their French purchases, Vago Collonges, possibly in the Newbury bumper on Betfair Super Saturday on February 9th. Al Ferof won that race three years ago."

Al Ferof then went onto run a fair race in the champion bumper, so 180/1 looked value Only had £4 but all the same will be a nice trade If he runs well at Newbury.

Trainer of above mentioned horse is Nicholls.

rockmonkey id say not looking too bad, top 2 decent trades for free bet? Tom has ficked up Cotton Mill though but at least you got price for trade.

stevo1 i like ur bet at 42s on un atout.i got som very good info on that horse b4 xmas but didnt back it .was still sulking after big bucks nr had it in all my anti post bets sick as a parrot but good luck on it ile wait till day nowit defo 100% runs in supreme

Cheers robbie hope you are correct,could be Leopardstown next so find maybe if real deal.

stevo

Yes mate, things look to have taken a turn for the better in recent days

Lets hope Racing goes ahead at Cheltenham at weekend, few questions maybe answered re Oscar Whiskey over 3 miles amongst others. Also good cards at Leopardstown Sat/Sunday.

stevo  thats look good re un atout...im still very hopeful re my tent or yours...think the better ground will see a serious horse....do u think he will run in betfair hurdle still,i think he will...goodluck

1 pound eway patent
Supreme - Dodging Bullets 14/1
GC - First Luitenant 12/1
CH - Countrywide flame 16/1

Lumpy bet on Bobs Worth 7/2 to win and a decent one on Countrywide Flame 24's (eway)

GL all

yeah my tent will batter cotton mill then go off short for Supreme or perhaps Champion Hurdle... :)

Think MTOY will run if not heavy as we know Henderson dont like unning all his horses on ground too soft, but not sure he aint got too many options?

Salsify & Rock On Ruby in an EW Double. Not enjoying this weather!

Salsify got me out of hole on Friday last year under ice cool ride, decent value again at 8s.

Layed off Boston Bob bet now for small profit, not sure why he didnt run today over 2m 5f.If he turns up on day will back accordingly but not got good feeling.

my antepost list reads like this so far

MTOY 14-1 (SUPREME)
HF 9-2 (CH)
UNIONISTE 14-1 (RSA)
UNIONISTE 90 AND 200-1 (RYANAIR) just a few quid
TNO 16-1 (NEPTUNE)
OW 7-1 (WH)
ROLLING STAR 8-1 (TRIUMPH)
CONEYGREE 16-1 (AB)

and a nice double on OW and HF at 7-1 and 9-2

Good racing this Saturday especially @ Leopardstown may unravel a few more plans after. Hoping Un Atout, Sir Des Champs show their form,and Salsify ( going maybe too soft )and Blood Cotil. im sure a few maybe destined for bin? Enjoy the racing.

Just done a win double with Zark(13/2) and SConti(7)with w h1ll.
Though Might look sh1te after today

not very often that double is done, was kim bailey the last to do it???

Quiet possible you are right there alleged,its a rarity.

My 'dark one' for the Supreme wasn't entered! However, I think we might have seen the Supreme winner yesterday - and I'm not talking about MTOY. Can't believe the price of Champagne Fever after yesterday's win, especially after WM suggested he was Supreme-bound. Have also built a small position in the NH Chase and slightly bigger one on Cantlow in the Jewson since my last update.

2pts Far West (Triumph) @ 10/1
0.5pt Pendra (Supreme) @ ~ 90/1 :(
1pt Champagne Fever (Supreme) @ 20/1
0.5pt Buddy Bolero (NH Chase) @ ~ 33/1
1pt Cantlow (Jewson) @ ~ 40/1

OW 7-1 (WH)

CONEYGREE 16-1 (AB)

and a nice double on OW and HF at 7-1 and 9-2


add LAC FONTANA to that 20-1 triumph

My tent or yours 20/1 supreme doubled up with Silviniaco Conti 6/1, Oscar Whisky 7/1 and Hurricane Fly 4/1.

My tent and Silviniaco in singles. Really fancy Taquin Du Seuil in the Neptune backed at 12s. Glam Gerry in whatever handicap he runs in, beat Go Native and Jezki on the flat in October lol :)


Pokes at a price

Tour Des Champs - RSA 250/1 (Looks more likely to run in Amateurs)

Cantlow - RSA 150/1 (Handicap bound it seems)

Vago Collognes - Bumper 180/1 (Not likely to turn up, all depends on what he shows at home after his first run at the weekend)



Touch and go

Oscars Well - Arkle 16/1 (Lost cause by the looks of things)

Pont Alexandre - AB 8/1 (Still fancy this to be switched once they realise Champagne Fever still has no chance in the Supreme)


Cut a long story short my fate will be known 4 mins after the first race.

Life changing acca, one a day:

MTOY Supreme 20/1
Boston Bob 10/1
Monksland 10/1
Sir Des Champs 7/1

Can dream at this stage.....

Slightly carried away with the smileys there, must be a good sign!

well done alleged...nice book...like the 16s on the new one...decent ground is all thats required...i.e more decent than lto at chelters...good luck with all your bets....i think there are quite a few on here with mtoy going for them ....hope to god its in the supreme !!!!!!!!

my best until today;

rock on ruby 8/1
mtoy 8/1
back in focus 8/1
tidal bay 7/1
our vinnie 16/1

ew 5fold

Summary since o/p as just over 3 weeks to go.Jezki happy as traded for few quid as on decent prices here and Bet Vic Nr free bet. Back up Un Atout not looking too good in market on her at present and looks doubtful to show,not sure he would have been good enough but bags of potential. Grandouet decent price NR free bet just as well given problems again,backed up with The Fly at 9/2, so happy with position on race. Last 2 in doubles with Sir Des Champs as well,backed FL in Gold Cup as back up if showing on decent ground huge price.
Others added last 2 months were Boston Bob backed and layed and backed again ffs, Salsify 7/1 Nr free bet will take some stopping in Foxhunters again. Oscar Whisky 7/1 in World Hurdle Nr free bet, Rolling Star in Triumph 7/1 as back up to Blood Cotil disappointing lto. Few more to add and almost done, then the easier handicaps Good luck all!

Forgot my Neptune horse as maybe only winner Taquin Du Seuil 12/1 nr free bet again.

I see pricewise gone for Champion Court at least it may run,but cant see it beating Cue Card and FL if turning up imo.

Anyone got any updated ante-posts? Not long to go now topped up on Jonjos in Neptune hopefully? Oh and Balthazar King

threw a few pounds on Lord windermere ew in rsa and a few more on captain conan ( thought nicky very happy with this lad )

CUE CARD.RYANAIR 4/1
OUR CONNOR..TRUIMPH 5/1
SILVANI CONTI..GOLD CUP 5/1
............£20 TRBL WAY FRED.....
....Also super yankee for £1s...with MELODIC RENDEVOUS ..SUPREME 10/1. ZARKANDER 5/1 ..WITH ABOVE 3 AS WELL

                                                                                  Regards Cammy

Good luck Cammy and enjoy, added Zarkandar in double with Rolling Star in Triumph 5s & 11/2. Ground coming right for Grandouet and Sir Des Champs.

Sgt reckless bumper 20/1
Moyle Paek bumper 40/1
First lieutenant Ryanair 16/1
First lieutenant Gold Cup 18/1
Captain Conan Jewson 7/1
Champagne Fever supreme 20/1

All on e/w so hope for some return and if one of the bumper ones come in I will be very happy.

Good prices there Bobby like FL Ryanair,at least you have him covered for both races.

Thanks Stevo

Looks like Moyle Park is not heading to bumper

Wou.d prefer Fl to go to Ryanair as I thought he ran out of steam in the Lexus with 100 ydsto go but good ground should certainly help him

Looking forward to it!'

Few bad trading positions Flemenstar being one of them, couple of decent trading positions Binocular being one of them.

All in all fairly happy with my book, think i'm about done, will be looking into the handicaps later into next week, the only one I fancy is Royal Reveille in the pertemps so far.

if you've laid these you will probably be doing ok

I back to win amounts rather than use points, i.e. Merry King 20 odd quid to win 300 at 14/1. I try to win 100/200/300 depending on value/opinion/idiocy.

NH Chase - Merry King 14/1 (to win 300)
Supreme - Dodging Bullets 14/1 supreme (200)
RSA - Rocky creek 12.5 (100)
CH - Countrywide flame 24/1 (300)
GC - Bobs Worth 7/2 (100)
GC - First Lieutenent 23/1 (321)
AB - Ponte Alex 12/1 (150)
Grand Anual - Tetlami 25/1 (300)
Pulteney - Tetlami 27/1 (400) I have to confess I backed this thinking I was backing it for the grand anual - when I checked the prices the next day imagine my horror.

1 quid ew patent
DBullets 14/1
First Lieu 12/1
C Flame 16/1

I have some other bits and pieces - an accumulatior and a free bet to nothing on Simonsig.

Good Luck dudes

Looks like a lot of us will know our fate after the CH on day one
