Cheltenham Antepost thread

[OddDog]

Yeah, sorry. I forgot to mention that. I'm still thinking it would be worth the risk. Have the Elliott team kind of forced there hand with Brighterdaysahead missing the weekend action ? I'm thinking they must go Champion Hurdle with her now based on what they saw lto. We know Willie amd connections will opt for the most winnable race or as many races to win as he can. He has a Champ hurdle horse in State Man, almost guaranteed place money. They know already Lossiemouth will need to improve vastly to challenge Con Hill based on there last encounter. I could be off the mark but I'm pretty sure after her fall as well that Lossiemouth will be Mares bound and go off a very short price.

Yeah, Golden Ace form last year I see it but this year, absolutely couldn't give her away to me. Good luck though.

Just reminded me I need to update my Champion Hurdle thread - I was away in Munich for the DRF and haven't got round to it yet

Nice one red - Bugise Seagull definitely of interest in the Pertemps. I’ve done my usual detailed analysis of the race and will put up a thread after the last qualifier at Chepstow this weekend.

I just noticed that Chepstow isn't the last qualifier - there is also one at Naas on Sunday and currently there are 27 horses entered

Will we see another attempt, at Naas, to get Staffordshire Knot qualified (his last 2 runs have been in Pertemps Qualifiers. Formline -50).

Certainly should do Agatha proud that race on Sunday at Naas - notebook will be out. I'll be posting a detailed analysis next week but from what I can see right now, several at the top of the ratings also have Stayers Hurdle entries and I think we might up with a relatively small field. Currently anything north of 128 will get you in but obviously we will see which 8 qualify from the last 2 races.

Every so often racing gives you an incredible heart wrenching ending.
So how about WILLIAM MUNNY in the Supreme?

17 March 2024 is the date of my first bet on him.

 

[OddDog]

Love to see him do it but I think the fav is an absolute freak.

Staffordshire Knot won't be running at Naas on Sunday - no chance for him then to tie, I say tie, up qualification for the Pertemps Final. The old boy though does have 2 other handicap hurdle entries at the Cheltenham Festival.

The Naas field for that Pertemps Qualifier, incidentally, looks very, very, very competative with 19 declared.

I was looking at him this morning. As a juvenile he was well fancied for the Fred Winter but finished mid-field. Interesting but a lot will depend on what mark the British handicapper gives him of course.

If the ground is on the softer side then William Munny would be a cracking proposition at those odds lads. Nice odds you got so good luck.

The only fly in the ointment is it wouldn't inconvenience the current Mullins fave either, who, as Oddy said above, looks to be potentially anything right now.

Has been given a mark of 147 by the British Handicapper which shows the danger of running handicappers in Grade 2 and Grade 1 races - you get weight for sod all. I can't see him being competitive off 147.
