Albert Bartlett Ante-Post Preview

Posted on by Online Betting Pro

I don’t often consider betting this early on the Cheltenham festival unless it is for a long range tilt at the Gold Cup or the Champion Hurdle. However, one horse stuck out like a sore thumb at Cheltenham last week and has festival winner written all over him.

That was Kings Palace in the stayers’ novice hurdle who cemented his position as favourite for the three-mile Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle with a devastating display. It wasn’t just the fact that he won by 14 lengths, it was the ease with which he destroyed some decent novices.

He was settled in front by Tom Scudamore and produced some superb leaps. The further he went, the better he went and you could see the distress signals coming out from those attempting to keep in touch. Only the 25-1 outsider Masters Hill made any kind of fist of staying with him but he looked a spent force turning for home.

Milan Bound could never get close enough to mount any kind of challenge whilst Saint Roque eventually fell through exhaustion. The third horse was over 30 lengths adrift at the line with Scudamore taking a long look behind for imaginary dangers.

The five-year-old is a son of King’s Theatre and this was only the sixth time he has appeared on the racecourse. The form was in the book for all to see having beaten Creepy and Monbeg Dude on his previous outing by 18 lengths and more at Newbury. Creepy came out and won a Grade 2 event whilst Monbeg Dude won a valuable three-mile chase to advertise his Grand National claims.

Trainer David Pipe already sees Kings Palace as a future chaser but will definitely aim him at the Albert Bartlett. He will also be given an entry in the two and a half mile novice race at the festival but that is just to keep their options open.

Of course the price is everything and 5-1 may not seem that attractive with three months to wait. I don’t mind taking a chance on his health and fitness as I can see him starting odds-on if the rest of the season goes his way. I would imagine that he’d have one more outing before the festival and it will take something exceptional to threaten his place at the head of the market.

Cheltenham 2014 Antipost

We’ve got Cheltenham Fever here at Betcirca. We can’t get enough of it. We tipped up a plethora of winners for you during the 4 days of this years festival, and now we are going to have a little stab at next years festival, a cool 11 1/2 months before the first race is due off.

If you aren’t a fan of doing antipost bets, i’d close this page now. We understand that if a horse is withdrawn, we lose our bet. This is the risk you take. We’ve missed out on some fancy prices with this double, but it still pays really well considering everything we know about the two horses. Let’s hope the horses plans don’t change between now and Cheltenham.

Our Conor 5/1 Champion Hurdle William Hill
Bobs worth 7/2 Gold Cup William Hill
£20 @ 26-1 pays £540 with William Hill

Now, i’d be amazed if Bobs Worth isnt campaigned with the Gold Cup as the target, Our Conor however, with a new owner, could do anything. So proceed with caution. If they both run in their respective races they both have sensational chances to win them both, heres to hoping..

Another potentially cracking bet is Big Bucks, When was the last time you saw Big Bucks at 4-1 anti post for anything? The new brigade are out in force with At Fishers Cross and The New One both in the betting, but my word, Big Bucks is a massive price and you could look at doing a cheeky each way treble? You currently get 134-1 with William Hill for the treble, juicy.

Cheltenham Festival 2013 – Day Three Tips

Posted on by Online Betting Pro

Well, yesterday was a bit of an epic failure. A few of the horses sneaked into places at big prices but overall, it was one of the worst days of Cheltenham for punters. How disappointing.

Today picks up nicely however, we have lots of juicy races to get our teeth into. I will continue to side with Arabella Boy in the last race (the Cross Country), I outlined his chances in the day 1 preview I wrote.

My 2nd bet is a forecast in the 2:40, Cue Card 1st and First Lieutenant 2nd. This to me is a two horse race. First Lieutenant loves it at Cheltenham but in recent times he’s almost always found one too good. That one today, could be Cue Card. The horse has won some great races up to now, beating Captain Chris last time out (who lines up in the Gold Cup) and Finians Rainbow (Albeit a very poor run from last years Cheltenham Festival winner). The horse loves to bowl along in front, and his 2nd to Sprinter Sacre last year at Cheltenham is looking quite good. Not forgetting his short head defeat to the Gold Cup favourite at Newbury in 2011.

You can get around 11.53 on Bet365 right now on the forecast (Cue Card to beat First Lieutenant) – I’d suggest a cover on the latter horse beating Cue Card just in case he gets his nose in front today.

You may want to follow me on on this bet, but only go small!

Dynaste, Ely Brown, Cue Card, Oscar Whisky, Kapga De Cerisy, No Secrets, Arabella Boy.

I would go each way on all these multiples.
