    Won't ever get his ground at the festival? Can't have it soft enough.

    True but the race looks awful and if we've another wet festival by Thursday the hill will be sludge.

    Put The Kettle On has to be value for the Champion Chase at 8/1 in a race where there are question marks over most of the leading players. The 7lb mares allowance gives her a great chance and she loves Cheltenham. Henry De Bromhead has already sent out two Champion Chase winners so he knows exactly what it takes to have her ready for the day.

    I'm waiting for NRNB to back Notebook. Think he has a massive chance but worried they may bypass the race given his record around Cheltenham. Personally think his lacklustre run in the Arkle had to do with his busy campaign beforehand. One more run around Christmas and then freshen him for the CC might be the plan. At least i hope so. GL

    I think most people have too much optimism that vaccines will be ready for December/January. I'd think it'll be April/May at the earliest and with the huge spike expected after Christmas and New Year's I'd say it'll be definitely extremely limited crowds at best, most likely no crowds. Hence why I backed Notebook early! One more run at Christmas and put him away until March, with the sounds of Cheltenham playing in his ears just in case!

    Owners and maybe a few after that but nothing much. End of Q2 early Q3 maybe getting back to a semblence of normality. Right now I'll take that

    i got 8/1

    prepare for that to be cut into 7/2 fav when he wins the tingle creek!!

    ahh these antepost bets seem so good in your head, its the hope that kills ya !

    If any of the three you have in that treble don't make it to Cheltenham, does the bet become a double? Or is it classed as a losing bet?

    it's a losing bet as I don't think any firms are doing NRNB yet

    Correct.

    Correct if wrong but didn't firms go NRNB earlier than normal last year?

    Christ my memory is shocking, could have sworn they went NRNB on all races much sooner. There's some hope yet for antepost betting.

    Ya some of the championship races were early, even january for some bookies iirc, however, the other races were very very late last year for some reason, bet365 were one of the first but way later than the year before

    I think Botox Has could be a decent horse. I've thrown a fiver each way at 66/1 for the Champion Hurdle. Looks to be an open race and he could shorten if he wins well at Newbury on Saturday.

    Not sure what thread for this, but Front View was one of my strong ap bets last year after his eyecatching second at Thurles in February. I left work immediately and ran straight over to Lads as they biggest for the Martin Pipe. I think he lost a shoe so had some excuses.

    He'll only be out for a wee walk in the park today - but keep an eye on him.

    By next weekend well all be looking at the Champion Chase and Stayers Hurdle markets , saying ffs they were both 7/1 last week. They are 2 of the worst races in competitive terms . Chacun may turn up to make it a race, but all the rest are miles behind Altior if he gets within 1/2 stone of his form. Paisley is miles clear if he is even close to right (Next Destination is a big treat but he wont be running according to Nichols).

    Agree with the latter but have my doubts about the former, an 11 year old on the back of an injury, over 2 miles, be some achievement.
