Interesting if they do decide to go chasing as he is a full brother to Megastar who was 0-6 over fences and none of the rest of his siblings haven’t even tried it.
Anyone who got 20/1 Yorkhill Gold Cup
Yorkhill was 20/1 for the Gold Cup?!
I’ve added Augusta Kate into Coral’s Stayers Hurdle book at 16/1. A chasing campaign looks unlikely for the error-prone mare, but a few firms (including BetVictor) are asleep at the wheel either unquoted or unchanged at 33/1.
Some firms have pushed Labaik out to 25/1 from 16/1. Given that he will be campaigned over in England, where the firmer measures employed by starters will surely help, I’m going to take a tiny, tiny slice. If he decides to jump off on Friday, I’m sure he will be half that again.
Going Cheltenham mad here, but I think 16/1 Fayonagh is very generous. Showed just how versatile she is today in spectacular fashion. Hard to know how strong a race it was, but I reckon she beat one or two good horses out there. If she bolts up in her maiden next season I expect her to shorten up dramatically.
I take my hat off to you guys. I’m wary of betting anything a month before the festival, but you guys are fearless and just love your antepost. My Yorkhill bet is more than enough for me this far off.
Having read through this thread, there are some fantastic early bets on here, all I can say to you all is very good luck.

Has Labaik retired or did I dream it…….?

A real shame that, very talented when he wanted to beGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Done my first Ante post Lucky 15 bets
CH- BUV AR DARE 4/1
GOLD CUP- OUR DUKE 12/1
CROSS COUNTRY- CAUSE OF CAUSES 9/1
NEPTUNE- SAMCRO 16/1
The only bet I have had so far is Blow By Blow to win any race @ 14/1. Beat some decent horses on the flat (Moon Racer, Bacardys, Death Duty) and skipped jumping last season due to a small injury, and connections wanting to preserve the horse’s novice status. Being a WPM horse I am sure the Supreme/Neptune debate will go on for months, but 14’s to cover both seems decent and I was impressed with his win in the Punchestown Grade One Bumper.
About to start work on my AP book for Cheltenham. Really looking forward to it, although I am going to modify what I do this year as last year far too much of my AP book was dead before the off. I am going to avoid specific races and stick more (especially this early) on the ‘to win any race market’. I am also going to avoid acca’s this early and stick win bets at bigger prices on the exchanges (hardly ground breaking stuff).
I don’t think anyone could argue that AP betting this early if not rife with risk –health, target and winning all need to go right and plenty can go wrong. That being said, I am definitely getting stuck in to some horses that have a clear target and are likely to run no more than 2-3 times between now and March. I don’t see the point of letting (what can often but not always be) an easy seasonal reappearance against inferior opposition reduce the odds, as well as maybe 1 more competitive run between Nov – Feb. Of course there are exceptions where we need to wait and see, Buveur D’Air being the best most recent example after switching from chasing to hurdling mid season, but horses like Altior @ 13/8 (CC), Nichols Canyon @ 6/1 (SH), Buveur D’Air @ 4/1 (CH) are good examples.
I have backed Arctic Fire @ 80’s for the Champion Hurdle.
I wouldn’t normally get stuck in this early but I assume he stays hurdling and will be campaigned for the Champion Hurdle. Yes, Buveur D’air looks a good thing, but 4.6 is way too short at this stage and IMO Arctic Fire would not need to improve on that 2nd to Faugheen to beat Buveur D’air. He is 8 going on 9 and there is no reason to believe he cannot recapture that form, especially when you look at how he won the county off top weight having not raced for 400 days. I can see him doing a Rooster Booster who won the County in 2002 and then Champion in 2003.
I think that 2nd to Faugheen was very impressive and a completely underrated performance. Faugheen was gifted an early lead and Arctic Fire closed him down to just over a length up the hill. If you watch the footage back Willie said post-race that Arctic Fire had the most potential to improve out of the first three home.
There are plenty of horses ahead of Arctic Fire in the market that are likely to race elsewhere, or never race again.
We see time and time again where a horse places in the CH one year, then goes on to win it (Binocular, Punjabi, Brave Inca, Hors La Loi III, all recent examples).
Haven’t had a bet yet but you can guarantee that

will be going into single figures for the supreme before he ever sets foot on a race course.
2nd in the prix de saint voir at vichy when tenderly handled trained by guillame macaire.Now owned by (ms s ricci) rich ricci and trained by willie mullins.
The form has worked out pretty awful with plenty of runners from the race since. But he’s been in the yard since October 2016 and improvement is inevitable.
I won’t be surprised to see plenty of hype for annamixANNAMIXFollow
