Won’t go into too much detail but here’s the gist of my bets. I’m generally a £25 bet punter, so almost every bet I’ve had is linked to a money back offer or extra place terms.
RACE ONE
Laid Min at 9/4 & 5/2, with a view to betting it back at higher prices which is unlikely to happen now, with the withdrawal of the second fav yesterday. So I’ll bet Min with PP and hope it comes second (MB for second).
I’m on Altoir at 5-1 (Betfair to get the free offer) and Supasunday 12-1(with Sky, MBS)
TWO
Can’t remember a horse hyped as much as Douvan, it was last year and even more this year, it may go on to fulfil the hype but @ 1-3, a bet on Sizing John (10-1) with Boylesports (MB if 2nd or 3rd) is a better bet, it would need the fav to make a mistake but this is Cheltenham and horses make mistakes.
THREE
Morning Assembley - 14-1, e/w 1,2,3,4,5
FOUR
Nichols Canyon - Tom Segal said before Faugheen was pulled out that he thought Annie Power was the only horse capable of giving him a race in the CH. If she makes no mistakes with 7lb weight allowance she should win, but I really like Nichols Canyon, he could dictate race then simply win if he runs to his best, i’m on at 6-1 and will bet this again with PP @ 11/2 so MB if 2nd to AP.
Camping Ground 25-1 EW
Sempre Medici 25-1 WIN - MBS if 2nd/3rd with Boylesports
FIVE
Can’t have VVM @ evens so doing Polly Peacham (11/2) with Boylseports (MB if 2nd/ 3rd to fav)
SIX
More about Jockeys than Horses. I’m playing the front two in the market, win only with WH, they are returning stakes should all four Mullins hotpots all win. I don’t think that will happen but this is my insurance bet if it does.
Minella Rocco @ 6.s and Noble Endeavour @ 7’s
(also doing these with Betfair to try and land their bonus).
SEVEN
Betfair paying 1,2,3,4,5, each way terms. I have McKinley @ 14’s and will sprinkle several others in if I haven’t landed their bonus by this stage.
