I am doing £10 a month until odds shorten too much, I figure I won't miss £10 a month and this accumulator pays just shy of £2000
Douvan - arkle
Faugheen - champion hurdle
Annie Power - mares hurdle
Un De Sceaux - champion chase
Vautor - Cheltenham Gold Cup

Not sure on that one Don but I'd tentatively suggest Limini at 8/1 <laugh>

The Bad
Jezki, World Hurdle 7/1
Annie Power, World Hurdle 6/1
Limini, Supremes 33/1

The Better
Sizing John, JLT 16/1
No More Heroes, RSA 14/1
Limini, Mares Novice Hurdle 8/1
Yorkhill, Neptune 16/1
Min, Supreme 25/1
Don Poli, Gold Cup 8/1
Vautour KG 4/1, Vautour KG & GC dbl 14/1
Admiral Chief, Bumper 20/1
Faugheen, Champion 6/4 (mainly dbls, accas)
Annie Power, Mares 6/4 (dbls, accas)

The Best
Douvan, Arkle 10/1
Un de Sceaux, QM 5/1
(Note these were done the Monday before the Festival started!)

I start early and finish my antepost early, I'm already finished up at this stage! I've the above tied up in various multiples too but all done in singles also bar Annie Power. I'd humbly suggest there'll be at least 5 Festival winners in there, excluding Faugheen and Annie :1980_boogie_down:

I've been building a portfolio and lots of similar ones beefy! I thought I was the only one with Limini but Karalee worries me.

One i'm leaving well alone is Annie Power...... too risky knowing for sure she goes Mares hurdle. If Ricci had the chance to win all 4 championship races surely he would have to give it a go? In his interview he said they would wait to decide albeit he made his case for staying with the mares race.....

Min vs Moonracer could be some clash in the supreme. The Moonracer camp really fancy their chance.

Vroom Vroom Mag in the Ryanair @ 14s

Value at Risk could be a serious contender for the RSA but cant help but think Cheltenham doesn't really suit him.

Look out for the Voix du Nords this year.... his record last year as a stallion was ridiculous and his progeny have exciting seasons ahead.

Taken a piece of 20/1 for Vaniteux in the Arkle. Really likeable horse is this and I've been looking forward to this one going chasing ever since his 2014 Supreme Novice 3rd behind Vautour.

Enthusiasm may be tempered with Douvan due out soon over 2m chasing, but Henderson likes this horses temperament and he does possess enough ability having mixed in very nice novice hurde company. Chasing should suit him much better. May need to cover him for the JLT also as we don't know whether L'Ami Serge will prove another useful 2m recruit for Hendersons novice chasing Department.

Have my eye on a couple of shots in the dark in the novice hurdling scene, one of them I am still awaiting a price for so I'll put that up as soon as I've decided!
 
E/W ante post yankee placed on November 13th to very small stakes:

RSA - Black Hercules 25/1
Ryanair - Cue Card 12/1
World Hurdle - Thistlecrack 20/1
Champion Hurdle - MTOY 20/1

I've had a decent e/w dabble on Bristol De Mai for the Arkle tonight at 16/1. Over 2 miles at Cheltenham I am prepared to take on Douvan and BDM showed plenty on chase debut (when making Garde La Victoire pull out all the stops) to think he has the right mix of speed and jumping to play a big part in the Arkle. His follow-up win at Warwick was facile but showed he has real ability.
 
Added to the above with my horse to follow Shantou Village 12/1 for Albert Bartlett. Originally had him as a Neptune type but his Cheltenham win to me screamed three miler. I'd be somewhat unsurprised should be end up in the shorter race however.
 
I am going to throw a fiver a week on the below treble at 18/1 for now, it's only a fiver a week and if all three turn up i think they will win

Douvan
Faugheen
Un De Sceaux

Taken 25/1 for the Neptune after Tombstones romp there. Paddy Power must a been out for their Christmas party as they left the price unchanged...
