Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

All over Saldier, but in the any race market.

I’d have Envoi Allen down for the Ballymore for what it’s worth

Could well be the case Sean, just my own belief and reasoning, but of course you may well end up being right. The betting suggests Ballymore at the moment.

I'd side with this too if i was punting this far out. Always liked the look of him for chasing, but it's possible he won't go there and stick over hurdles.

Is that market listed on oddschecker yet?


Certainly makes strong appeal in the any race market for me too.... and as HurricaneFly/TheBeast highlighted - it also stuck with me about Mullins saying he's a potential CH horse of the future.

No danger of the price disappearing anytime in the next couple of months but interesting nonetheless!

Respect your opinion 100% COD it’s made me double check my own thoughts but to me he’s shown enough pace & turn of foot over 2m to not change my opinion in the short term. Long term if he stays fit & healthy a serious tilt at the Gold Cup is definitely on the cards.

Would it not be better to just wait and see if they are keeping him over hurdles or not? If he stays over hurdles then it’ll be the champion so take the 33/1 instead of the 20s any race. If they decide chasing then the play is the 20/1 any race!

Probably a fair point Kauto. I wanted him in my book early, so went this route. Of course, I will go in again if hurdles is confirmed later down the line and he is still 33's.

I don't think he'll go off bigger than 22's (with the boost, backed multiple times), for the CH anyway if he does go hurdling again. 22's is probably a little shy of where I would have wanted it to be but I took the plunge anyway.

Happy to take the risk on him staying over hurdles, however as I’m typing this I am thinking how Any Race would cover off the handicap aspect of things aswell. I’m sure his 153 rating will rise though. He will only be 6 next year so plenty of
Time to go chasing if that was in their thoughts aswell.

Been talked off as a CH horse for a while by Mullins, Laurina and Melon are both going chasing so I doubt Mullins will plan to go into things with just one potential CH regardless of how impressive Klassical dream was and is.

[Kevloaf]

I hadn't seen it confirmed that Laurina was going chasing?

[Kautostar]

Me neither and I’d be surprised if she did

[Hurricane fly]

I’ve jumped the gun there, but she certainly isn’t a Champion Hurdle horse

[SeanRock]

I’m over at the festival next year on the Friday for my stag doo so will probably be the biggest drunken mess in the Cotswolds, anyway have added a Midnight Run & TOTG Friday stag double to my singles on both. Hoping for a doo to remember

Yeah, she's not.


You got t-shirts ready Sean?
TOTG t-shirts are a must for you ...

Be rude not to Kev can’t desert him after he’s made such a considerable donation to the wedding kitty already!

Currently weighing up whether to stay in Cheltenham or as near as possible with the party or would we be better off commuting in from Birmingham or somewhere similar. That’s what I’ve done on previous visits. Any advice from the regulars would be welcome?

Ive got my Million in mind new horse parade start of August if anyone has anything they want to know, fire away and ill do my best. Personally im interested in Nickys Birchdale so im going to try and find out if hes going chasing and to try and see if they can rule out two miles, which should leave the JLT!!!
