Cheltenham 2020 - Ante post bets

[Kautostar]

Hes obviously still full of beans at home, and is lightly enough raced over the last few years.
Let him at it, can make a call on retirement down the line when it looks like if its for him or not.
Im sure hes well loved in that yard and his welfare is always considered in any plan.

What’s left for him to achieve? Just looks a greedy cash grab to me, trying to rake in a few extra quid from soft novice chases. Let him enjoy his retirement in one piece, there’s nothing to gain from sending him over fences now

From what i've heard from Blake of the FFP he goes to Mullins with the list he wants to include!

I wonder does Willie limit the number of horses Blake can give a report on, seems strange why so many obvious horses were omitted. Nicholls tour had well over twice as many horses covered.

I think the Racing Post had a lot more content in terms of numbers & info.

I seem to remember Blake saying it's a nightmare as he is limited on numbers, but i can't remember the context whether that was just with WPM or not. He got a lot from Nicholls but only 19 from Elliot. So he actually got more from WPM than Elliot.

Hard to work it all out!

Racing Post always manage to get a lot more. Speaking of which what did Fry have to say about King Roland in today’s anyone?

He appeared to $hit on my thinking that King Roland would be an AB horse

Jackie.
Mister Coffey.
What was the upshot of the discussion you had the other day ?
Who is he with again ?

"After what he did in bumpers we have high hopes of him over hurdles. He'll probably start over 2m and work away from there, but another half mile isn't going to be a problem when he learns to settle – he was just a bit keen when he won at Ffos Las. A winning point-to-pointer for Tom Lacey, he's a natural jumper and he might start at Exeter on Haldon Gold Cup day (Nov 5). He's smart."

He's with Henderson but was originally purchased by Tom Lacey. I'm still not sure what role Tom Lacey played in the deal as he could have been just the agent in this case. I'd be more interested now he's with Hendo but I still think he'll lack experience this season.

Cheers,
He seems to like the authorized and fame and glory babies.
I think they both look like really promising NH sires to me.
I'm going to chance the 66-1 B365, whoever he's with.
Whittington Lacey or Henderson all decent trainers to different degrees.

Shame we'll only get a limited amount of Fame and Glory progeny as he looked like he could have been a good one. My current favs are Getaway and Yeats from the newer brigade.

[Quevega]

Forgot he died on the job.
Was looking at sebastapol earlier too, as a second season novice he might have improvement, was sent off favourite this time last year vs Thomas darby.
but decided against it for now.

Joseph O'Brien has 3 decent Fame & Glory bumper winners to go hurdling this season.

Embittered and Meticulous are both in the Festival betting and have had several good runs but I'm more interested in the year younger Uhtred who won the valuable sales bumper at Fairyhouse from an impossible position.

Didnt Harry Whittington use to work for Hendo.

[The King Pimm]

And Ben Pauling worked for Nicky Henderson also

Morning all, wasn’t sure where to post this so thought best in the main cheltenham ante post thread. Have just joined after following the forum last season, have to say some of the info and fancies from the users was invaluable to a profitable festival last year. I never use to build a book ante-post but after following last year have seen the benefits of doing so and this will be my first proper antepost book for the festival. Looking forward to getting involved through the season!
