Thought I'd put down some of the AP bets that i have, some I'm happy with, some I'm not, but that's the gamble isnt it... Firstly, I've got Paisley Park on various tickets from 8/1 down to 3/1 and would represent my biggest win from a single horse at this years Festival, so fingers crossed for PP bringing it home for me big time... Day 1 Supreme - Boothill @ 16/1 Champion Hurdle - Saldier @ 25/1 Day 2 Novice Hurdle - Ballyadam @ 16/1 & Bob Olinger @ 25/1 Coral Cup - You Raised Me Up @ 20/1 Grand Annual - Huntsman Son @ 33/1 Day 3 Pertemps - Dandy Mag @ 28/1 Ryanair - Mister Fisher @ 14/1 Stayers Hurdle - Paisley Park @ 8/1 PadPow Plate - Mister Whitaker @ 201 Kim Muir - Shantou Flyer @ 20/1 Day 4 Gold Cup - Bristol De Mai @ 40/1 & Minella Indo @ 20/1 Max bet on these is £5 e/w bar Paisley Park... Doubles Monkfish & PPark @ 16/1 Shiskin & Monkfish @ 14/1 Shiskin & PPark @ 12/1 Accy's Monkfish, Chacun Pour Soir, Easyland, Envoi Allen @ 18/1 Monkfish, Appreciate It, Shishkin, CPS, Envoi Allen @ 24/1 All the multiples at £10 win only... Fingers crossed hey...
Oh, right, i'd better update my spreadsheet then... I didnt put them up but I did have tickets for Aramon, Ferny Hollow & Gypsy Island also so it's not all gone to plan for me or plenty others who play on the AP market before the NRNB comes in... Nevermind...
Ultima-Escaria Ten Pretty obvious that Gordon Elliott will have a horse or two win from his stable Each Way @ 10-1 [William Hill] 5 places or Win @ 7-1 NRNB
In addition to the bets already noted here on previous pages, barring any last minute no-shows, and even with that, I think I'm done with my Cheltenham bets after betting on the handicaps, with two substitutions for NRs, another four bets on Grade races for another four NRs, and another new bet on Mares' Hurdle. Handicaps: Ultima Aye Right 20/1 e/w NRNB (Canelo 25/1 e/w NR) Fred Winter (Boodles) Glorious Zoff 16/1 e/w NRNB Coral Column OF Fire 25/1 e/w NRNB Grand Annual Entoucas 10/1 e/w NRNB Pertemps Storm Arising 33/1 e/w NRNB (Mohaayed 33/1 e/w NR RIP) Plate Handicap Chase Midnight Shadow 33/1 e/w Kim Muir Mount Ida 16/1 e/w NRNB County Eclair De Beaufeu 25/1 e/w NRNB Martin Pipe Gentleman De Mee 14/1 e/w NRNB Other races: Supreme Metier 6/1 NRNB Win Only (Uhtred 40/1 e/w NR) National Hunt Chase Lord Royal 14/1 e/w NRNB (Run Wild Fred 20/1 e/w NR) Albert Bartlett Streets Of Doyen 33/1 e/w NRNB (Holymacapony 16/1 e/w NR) Hunters' Chase Latenightpass 20/1 e/w NRNB (Highway Jewel 40/1 e/w NR) Mares' Hurdle Dame De Compagnie 10/1 e/w NRNB
So just looked at my Anti post bets and these are the best value ones Goshen 25/1 & champagne platinum 20/1 both placed on 18th Feb Appreciate it & Monkfish both to win by 1 length or more 15/1 placed on 7th feb Imperial Aura 8/1 Ibleo 25/1 Other doubles and trebles on some of the favs chelt 2022 novice chase Appreciate it 25/1
Are they separate from the handicaps? I think that tomorrow all the Tuesday ones will come out and so on, and on Sunday the final ones will start 48 hours before.
Need to get in to my ante post spreadsheet later to update. Thanks all. Anyone else going to share their ante post bets? Come on don't be shy!
Thyme Hill will miss next week’s Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle after suffering a minor but untimely setback. Trainer Philip Hobbs confirmed the seven-year-old will not be able to take up his engagement at the Cheltenham Festival because of a pulled muscle – but is “very likely” to recover in time for the equivalent Grade One race at Aintree next month. Hobbs said: “He’s definitely not going to run at Cheltenham. “It is minor – he’s pulled a minor muscle to the right hand side of the saddle, just behind the saddle. “He’s actually very likely to run at Aintree, which is four weeks tomorrow. “So it’s certainly not career-threatening or anything like that.” Thyme Hill has vied for favouritism in the Cheltenham showpiece all winter with 2019 Stayers’ Hurdle winner Paisley Park, having beaten Emma Lavelle’s stable star once and then finished a neck second to him once in his two starts this season. The much-anticipated round three between the two heavyweights will not happen, however, next week. “Unfortunately it’s just very bad timing,” added Hobbs. “He’s got to have a few easy days, which you can’t really do before Cheltenham – so he’s not going to get there.”

No Festival handicaps for Espoir De Romay Preferring Leicester today instead!....8-11 to win the first race
Impressive Winner Especially when you consider his 100 day absence, good advertising for Royal Pagaille chance next week
I’ve been keeping an eye out for this one. Seemed well handicapped and won as he liked today. Would have carried a nice weight in the 2.5 mile handicap race. Bizarre.
Trainer said after the race that the Haydock run took a lot out of him as is a big horse, said Ayr might be next if ground stays on slow side. But listening to Bailey today you were left in no doubt that this horse could be top class next season
