  • Cheltenham 2024
    Another exciting year of antepost punting draws to a close, meaning it’s time to look forward to what 2024 might offer. I’ve put together a selection of horses that I think are essential for any antepost book; these are considered as ‘must bets’, whilst some longer priced selections can be found under the ‘speculative bets’Continue reading “Cheltenham 2024”
  • Cheltenham 2023 vol.2 (Xmas)
    It’s been a while since we last spoke and so, I thought it would be appropriate to take a look over some of the Xmas entries/declarations, and try to work out what could happen over the next few days to shake up the Cheltenham antepost markets. My findings are as below. Kempton – 26th DecemberContinue reading “Cheltenham 2023 vol.2 (Xmas)”
  • Cheltenham 2023 vol. 1
    With another successful Cheltenham out of the way and the curtains drawing on Royal Ascot, it seems like the perfect time to start the pilgrimage to the greatest show on turf. As a side note, I have tried to keep short priced horses out of these lists to the best I can. ‘Must’ bets BetsContinue reading “Cheltenham 2023 vol. 1”
  • 3 weeks to go…
    With 3 weeks to go Cheltenham is all I can think about. I find myself drifting into day dreams of Facile Vega, Galopin Des Champs, Run Wild Fred stomping up that famous hill and landing the spoils. Hopefully the dreams become reality! It’s nice to see that last weeks pick (Queens Brook) is running tomorrowContinue reading “3 weeks to go…”
  • 4 weeks to go….
    The biggest week of the year is fast approaching, excitement is building and the ‘shrewds’ are coming out of hibernation. Perusing through the ante post markets is a dismal affair and finding any value is energy sapping; but fear not, as for the next 4 weeks I will be scanning through the markets to bringContinue reading “4 weeks to go….”
  • A GAME OF ODDS pt. 1
    The National hunt season is now upon us and in full flow. Whether it’s the big grade one chasers, novice hurdlers or even handicappers and bumper horses, everyone’s got something to look forward to! I personally always love this time of year because I look through my antepost portfolio with enthusiasm and excitement. I oftenContinue reading “A GAME OF ODDS pt. 1”

    This week we are taking a look at the remaining 2 days of the Cheltenham festival and assessing the chances of the current ante post favourites in the Grade one’s. As before, all prices are taken from Bet365’s ante post markets and are correct of time of writing. I have skipped the Triumph hurdle becauseContinue reading “A favourites chance? Thursday & Friday”

  • Horses to follow season 21/22
    10. Run Wild Fred (G.Elliott – Gigginstown) Run Wild Fred (RWF) is what I would describe as ‘the one that got away’ after the late switch in the decision to go for the Irish National instead of heading to the Kim Muir which seemed to be the target for some time. Run Wild Fred watchedContinue reading “Horses to follow season 21/22”
