Ante Post for National Hunt 2021-2022 Season

Am i the only one that doesn't fancy Shan Blue over that trip?

I've big doubts about his stamina but given he's now a general 9/2 for the Hennessey i don't mind as those happy to take on(like myself) he's taking a chunk of the market with a sexy profile now. Going forward a KG might suit albeit the class of horse on show will be much better than Saturday, the Betway bowl at Aintree come the end of the season I'd be very interested in thou.

Did anyone see nick luck on Sunday? Seen a snippet from Skelton saying the horse is ok but obviously he won't know for certain as the horse can't tell him, have I picked that up right?

Hi Ronnie,
I think this interview is what you are referring to.

Any Shan Blue slips, cash out. Wont race until the spring - Dan Skelton Racing on twitter

Max McNeill has confirmed Escaria Ten's to be targeted at the Betfair Chase. He has plenty to find to win it, but he's 50-1 for it, while Next Destination is priced at 6/1.

That's a huge difference on their NHC runs and one has to be wrong.

Given Galvin has at least proven himself as a G1 chaser, it beckons well that the 2nd and 3rd should do themselves justice also.


Taken the pennies i can on BF/PP

King George entries are out, I've had a go at Asterion Forlonge at 25/1 I think he'll really like Kempton provided they go through with it

Yep I’m on him too, think he’s made for the race.

entries for the Paddy Power Gold Cup narrowed down today https://www.racingpost.com/racecards...08/at-a-glance, 24 remain. Quite like Farinet if he sneaks in.

I find it very hard to not see midnight shadow run a huge race

He travelled all over allmankind in the old roan before his lack of race fitness kicked in

Hoping so too, my two picks Antepost were Al Dancer and Midnight Shadow, both still in and at reduced odds now

I hope so too.
Backed him already ew and will back again if double figures when declared. Or before if I here a definite runner.

Just backed the Hogan horse - Funky Dady @50-1ew
Mainly cos he's Irish, and whilst they have a poor record in the race, thats cos they rarely have runners and recent season's show that they tend to be competitive in handicaps even if not top class, or from the top Irish stables.
Not sure the hold up style will suit the race either, but I do think he's probably better than his mark and could still be travelling well down the hill, so if they go too fast then he may be able to get placed.
Obviously needs declaring first.

On Al Dancer myself.

Potentially (as expected) very interesting weekend. Hard to keep up with it when i'm on a stag but i'll try lol.

Advanced Virgo in the Greatwood is interesting i think. Nowhere near as unexposed as some, but he seems to be coming back to himself. I reckon he's been primed for something now back under Byrne's care, beaten miles switched to Cathal Byrne's he's shown some spark back over hurdles and on the flat.

133 ain't bad. Good ground is good. Missed bigger but 16/1 also ain't bad.

Bua Boy has him covered on his last two hurdle runs, but BB was well supported both times which makes me think he was ready to go both times.

[Lobos]

10 out of last 12 winners carried 11 stone or less. 8/12 ran within the last 35 days. 10/12 aged 7-9 and 12/12 had at least 2 runs at Cheltenham (any code).

There's your most important stats. Pick the bones out of those. Mines gone..... Midnight Shadow (carries over 11stone).

[Lobos]

One that I've found that I believe meets every stat/trend there ever has been for the race is.........Manofthemountain. That's my bet sorted on Saturday if he takes up his entry

That’s who I’ve backed Lobos.

Good ground will be in his favour it looks like and will hopefully come on from the comeback run.

10lbs higher than his handicap win in April over course and distance but you never know.

Thought he's on 10 13.
Assuming Assemble runs.
ATR & Sporting Life have him off that and the racing post 11 3

Anyone know who's right ??
Not sure it matters though.
