ok have been waiting for an opportune moment to start a few more ante post cheltenham bets. Always a good time to try to pick up some decent prices (those who found Sublimity at 450/1 last year will know!)
I have what i feel is a decent yankee to keep backing each week to make a nice bet.
Voy per Ustedes (to win the QM for 2nd year) 9/2 Katchit (to win the Champion Hurdle) 7/1 Franchoek (to win the Triumph hurdle) 8/1 Denman (to win the Gold Cup) 5/1
3 of those are Alan Kings but all 3 are wirth their place & the important thing for me is they are all course winners & fit the profile for the race.
Denman must win the Henessey if he is to be as good as Kauto star was last season. I think the horse could be another star for Nicholls & Ruby will find it hard trying to pick. The strange thing is that Ruby wont be riding either on their next run due to his injury. This is my next ante post bet.
Denman to win the Hennessey @ 5/1 (dec 1st)
Onto the festival itself, I have a couple of long range bets that i will follow:
Noble Request 44.0 Arkle Chase State of Play 120.0 Gold Cup Desert Quest 130.0 Champion Hurdle Labelthou 80.0 Sun Alliance Chase
Each horse above represents decent value on my book & these will be followed through the season.
