I thought I'd have a little fun competition for the jumps season ahead. Nominate the horse that you fancy for each of the following races for the upcoming National Hunt season, with the best ante-post price currently available, according to the list of bookmakers on http://www.oddschecker.com Points will be awarded to a £1 mythical stake on each horse. Races: King George VI Chase - Kempton, December Champion Hurdle - Cheltenham, March Arkle Chase - Cheltenham, March Queen Mother Champion Chase - Cheltenham, March RSA Chase - Cheltenham - March Ryanair Chase - Cheltenham, March World Hurdle - Cheltenham, March Gold Cup - Cheltenham, March Grand National - Aintree, April Closing date will be up to and including Charlie Hall Chase day at Wetherby so you have 2 weeks to come up with your selections. Once you've made your selections, they cannot be altered (in keeping with those of us who've experienced the perils of ante-post punting! ). Good luck!
Nice idea CG - I'll be happy if I get one of these right King George VI Chase - Long Run (11/8 Sporting Bet) Champion Hurdle - Hurricane Fly (7/4 various firms) Arkle Chase - Menorah (12/1 Sporting Bet) Queen Mother Champion Chase - Captain Chris (12/1 Boylesports) RSA Chase - Cheltenham - Sam Winner (16/1 Totesport) Ryanair Chase - Little Josh (currently only listed with Betfair at 43) World Hurdle - Big Buck's (11/10 standout price with Sporting Bet - are they quite mad?) Gold Cup - Long Run (5/2 various firms) Grand National - Junior (25/1 various firms)
nice one, always up for a bit of fun. King George VI Chase - Master Minded Champion Hurdle - Hurricane Fly Arkle Chase - Peddlers Cross Queen Mother Champion Chase - Sizing Europe RSA Chase - Mossley Ryanair Chase - Captain Chris World Hurdle - take a chance on Big Bucks Gold Cup - Long Run Grand National - Junior
BTW I was just looking at Ante Post prices and the treble of Hurricane Fly - Quevega - Big Bucks. If you think how dominant each of these 3 horses are in their respective fields you would have to say they really should only need to turn up fit to win. Well at Sporting Bet you can get a shade above 15/1 for the treble. I must say I'm very tempted to have a dabble at that.

I'll add mine a bit later Chance .... but - I may be missing the point slightly, not for the first time - shouldn't entries be stating the ante-post price alongside their selections or are you doing that yourself, in the background so to speak?
Hi Reebok. I'll look up the ante-post prices for the current entries and post them later this evening but I certainly don't mind if entrants state the ante-post price alongside their selections. Just for clarity, betting exchange prices won't be accepted. Neither will prices be accepted from 32Red.
CG sorry I forgot to put prices with my selections, have added them now. On the Ryanair chase, Little Josh is currently only listed with Befair so I have put their 43 in - hope this is oK.
Cheers OddDog. No probs with putting in the Betfair price for Little Josh if the ordinary bookies don't have a price for it.

I must revisit some of his films one day - some real gems in there (most of them in fact). I'm Alright Jack with Terry-Thomas: "I know you from the army. You're an absolute shower" and one of my all time favourites, Two Way Stretch with Lionel Jeffries as the strict Warden "Sauerkraut" - "I'll see you lot Monday morning down the quarry ................. SIX O'CLOCK"
