Yep that's today for Champion Hurdle, Stayers Hurdle, Champion Chase, Ryanair and Gold Cup I believe.

Ace, thanks - thought I’d read that somewhere, be interesting to see if there is much change

Got a free ticket for Stockport County tonight. I normally wouldn't bother but they're playing Chesterfield so can't really pass up the opportunity to cheer our man on.

….scored a few myself at Edgely Park back in the day, let’s hope Tshimanga starts catching me up.

I'll put this in here rather than waste time in the Supreme... But Elle Est Belle has been declared for the Sidney Banks on Thursday, against the geldings and with a penalty. Very odd decision to go for that and not the Betfair Hurdle imo.

Pocket talk about that double of course but still... The wrong call imo. Her only novice entry at the festival is back over 2 miles.

A word of caution re: oddschecker... the Martin Pipe is showing Sky Bet as NRNB but they actually have Sky's AP market.

Kabongo in again tonight 1 in the bag

[isitmarchyet]

Just checked, given he's scoring 0.93 goals per game, 13/5 anytime goalscorer for Kabongo could be a nice roll up

Good shout that!

Probably worth a discussion for after the festival but Sky have opened and closed lots of markets that presumably have seen them punished, and present what I think is a decent betting opportunity. Their place market is still live and all the value is pretty much gone, but some of the prices in there were superb. Up until the Clarence House Energumene was 5/6 to place in a QMCC. Sky introduced a W/O irish market and priced up Epatante @ 2/1, which was 5/4 and now they have removed it. These aren't prices I'd ever go absolutely nuts on, but for doubles and trebles and rolls ups they present tidy returns if you can spot them, find them and back them before they remove.

Those markets were great finds by you Charlie!

I’ve used the places for a few accas, but as you say the value has now by & large gone.

But they always want our money, even if they take another pounding this festival. They will introduce the same or different markets next year to entice us, just up to us to find the value & snap it up before they realise!

Hoping someone brings back that w/o the Irish market on the day for the Champion Hurdle. Still think Adagio is the bet not Epatante though.

I think Adagio was 4/1 and she was 2/1. At those prices it was a complete no brainer IMO but even at 5/4 it's not a tough call.

They often push the prices of one or two in the early morning of raceday too - LostIntranslation to place in the JLT was massive for me as couldn't see him out of the frame & they pushed him out in the morning at a daft price to place (around 15/8 from memory when he was sent off 4/1 to win come the off). They only had the price up for a short time & disappeared v.quickly as they probably got filled in on it...

[Guinness Village]

It’s only 34 days to go.
can’t we have a forum advent calendar of bets on the 24 days leading up to the festival?
probably mad, but it works for beer and advent calendars!!
