Cheltenham 2021 Antepost

Vision Des Flos would be interesting in the Coral Cup. Was near the fav in the 2019 running and was off top weight, albeit well beaten in the race. A mid 140s OR currently, hes certainly a good 8lbs in the locker there on his best form.

Back a tizzard horse at your phucking peril.

I've gone through the Supreme and i cannot see a horse that beats Appreciate It. Like so many of Mullins' he'll wind it up early, grind it out from the front and outstay everything.

I'd be having a bit on Elliots Ballyadam @ 7-1 myself.

No, I am not, it is basic maths.

If a bookie takes only odds on bets....

And it loses 2 out of 3 of them...

It goes broke.

It has to win 2 out of every 3 odds on bets it lays.

Wow!
And what bookie do you know that only takes odds on bets ?

Any idea when the weights are released

I have to agree with this for the time being.

However their prices are enticing. The whole market knows that they are having an iffy year and it can pay to take a leap of faith with better ones.

I would also expect to see some improvement in ones that have shown up under form.

Native River won last weekend at 13/2. Punters have had their fingers burnt too many times by them this year, they are fed up. But I might well have an odd fiver at Cheltenham with whatever turns up?

Native River will make the Gold Cup interesting, as will Frodon. They will take themselves on up front. That might not play into Al Boum Photo's race, the last 2 Gold cups were slow with sprint finishes.

In saying that 11 year olds have a terrible Gold Cup record, so whilst I think Native River will be placed I would be looking for a phat price, I just get the feeling something will nab him late on, if he can catch up with Frodon.

The race is going to fall into somethings hands.

Maybe.. but I still think Al Boum is the one to beat in fairness. You don't fluke 2 Gold Cups all said.

I doubt I am having a bet in the race tbh. Maybe an ew on Burrows Saint, given the heavy pace it could pick up the pieces.

Oh so do I, but he has an entry. unless they are deliberately considering the Gold Cup as a prep run, Hedgehunter style. He will probably be run for prizemoney.

But it is not outside of the realms of possibility that if they do go full pelt out in front and he manages to keep up it could fall into his hands... or any decent slugger.

I usually go through a poster for saying this, but I am saying it now... it does not look to be the strongest of Gold Cups? There are only a handful of Grade 1 winners in it this year. I only counted 6 entries with a grade 1 win over 3 miles?

If Kemboy and Battleoverdoyen don't turn up there might only be 4 horses in the race with a G1 over 3 miles?

You're some hard man all the same..:eek:

The way the other potential GC horses have run would make Al Boum Photo more of a favourite this year I think. Pity really, not many horses going into the race with strong form.

Minella Indo was the hope as competition before the DRF. Thought Lost in Translation would be a GC winner a couple of years ago but no more.

Patrick Mullins on one of the Bookmakers podcasts last night saying shes fit and well :pac:

Bet 365 suspended all cash outs on her as well 3 days ago but left her in the market.

Just about to post this. He hummed and hummed, she's as fit as WPM can get her at this stage is what he said I think. Put people away with a caveat..Bad form none the less..
