I promised I would put up some thoughts on Cheltenham for anybody that was interested.
Paddy Power have just announced that they will refund all bets that dont run so the market is not ante-post anymore. Expect other bookmakers to follow.
Ground conditions look like they will turn up good so speed horses will benifit. Grass conditions are poor due to frost but the track has been using fertilizer to encourage growth.
Below are some Horses on my Shortlist at present.
Supreme Novice Hurdle- Dungib is the Irish Banker and looks unbeatable on form so far. Will be short odds with both Menorah (12s) and Blackstairsmountain (14s) Each Way bets.
Somersby in the next race the Arkle Trophy, back him now each way at 6/1. Dont expect the favorite to jump around.
Champion Hurdle- Solwith(9/2) and Go Native (5/1) are strongly fancied Irish runners. Best of the English could be Medermit 11/1 today only with Paddy Power.
In the mares Hurdle Irish Horse Quevega is another banker. Take the 11/8 available now. She should win easy.
In the Champion Bumper on the 2nd day Al Ferof (11/1) back now, will be a great each way bet and is strongly fancied. Will be shorter on the day.
Irish Horse Tranquil Sea at 9/2 in the Ryanair Chase.
Carlo Brigante (6/1) in the Triumph Hurdle on Thursday
Kauto Star (4/5) will win the Gold Cup. Cooldine at 12/1 is an each way bet
BET;
DUNGIB (4/5)
QUEVEGA (11/8)
KAUTO STAR (4/5)
Above bet will pay 6.5/1 but take prices available this week as all will be shorter on Day.
Will update this thread nearer the date and will give a daily report each day.
