Cheltenham 2021 - Ante Post Bets

[Istabraq]

Disappointing that something that was standard has just been erroded away with no real explanation or reasoning over the last few years.

I agree, but looking at the daily/race offers for Cheltenham it’s hard to argue us punters are being hard done by the days, it just seems much of the value has transferred to the day market from the AP market.
5/6 places is common in the majority of races if you have the choice of most bookmakers, it wasn’t that long ago you’d get 4 places on the National, these days you get 5 places on 14 runner TV handicaps...

....doubt it will have much impact but plans to run the Irish National this autumn have been abandoned.

Might have an impact on Presenting Percy

Im wondering if Tornado Flyer could turn up in a handicap at the festival, ill be interested if he runs against some good horses early on in the season, he ran respectably in the marsh it would seem he has room for improvement and maybe they could sneak him into something like the plate? I may have a go for the any race market at 25/1 (would have to be a free bet though!)

Announced today, there will be no rescheduled Irish Grand National in the autumn, as having it with little or no spectators was not something they would wish to do.

Maybe the Irish Jump racing programme will look something like normal now going into the autumn.

I like him Ray. He’s really hard to predict though. He throws in stinkers sometimes. I agree he potentially has a nice mark, but give Willie is poor at targeting the Festival handicaps with his chasers, so I just don’t see it. If he’s goT a handicap in him Willie will have blown his mark before March.

Wrong thread I no,but I have a £5 bonus on Betfair but I’m unsure how I can have a bet with this? Any help please?

Long shot, risky long shot, could be a stupid long shot, but hey ho

Nichols - “clan won’t run a Cheltenham again”

Well... I can’t see Clan running in the gold cup ever again, but if there’s a race for him at the fez then it will be the Ryanair

Took the 114’s on the machine on the chance something happens which makes Nichols re-think the Fez and go for the Ryanair

Again, fighting against the tide a bit here but wanted one “what-if” AP bet and I had 1pt lying about

I think hed of said that based on the fact he simply doesnt act at cheltenham, so ryanair wouldnt be on his radar, hell probably be keeping him back and aiming him at something like aintree instead, hed actually run a good race at punchestown more than anything i think

Nothing wrong with that

No Idea where to put this as he is over different trips and obstacles but I just love the Storyteller, I already have him any race at 27/1 Hills Boost but hes a bloody good horse just outside the top top class horses.
