Ante Post jumps discussion thread 2025/26

Lud'ors fav for the qualifier on Saturday but no odds for the Pertemps in March.

No doubt if he wins on Saturday, they'll install it at silly short odds.

They still haven't got their finger out, how convenient.

Lud'or is entered up in two races this weekend at Haydock and Windsor.

I still like his form and profile. The fact French Ship was beaten last Saturday wasn't too disheartening as that horse was just clobbered by the handicapper. Lud'or only went up 3lbs to 139 so remains a work in progress. I can't back him yet though as I have no idea what race he'll go for.
 
The owner said there's nothing between Old Park Star and Act of Innocence at home, so it might be worth having a tickle at 25s for AOI in the Turners, assuming they will be kept apart and AOI will go up in distance for his next race.
 
I have returned to Festival Ante Post Folly again after many years absence.
My ew docket includes
Anzadam (Champion Hurdle)
Irish Panther (Arkle)
I'll Sort That (Turner's Novice H)
Koktail Divin (Brown Advisory Nov Chase)
Lecky Watson (Gold Cup)
Avoid those five and you may have some chance of success.
 
I’ve only done the three so far, all involving Golden Ace in the CH. Two ew doubles, with Lecky Watson and Haiti Coleurs; and one ew single at 16/1.

Seven weeks out, I would usually have a proper portfolio on the go. I don’t think ‘Festival Fever’ has set me alight just yet.

Going to be preview season soon. I've only ever been to one, a Betfair one back in the day at a posh London hotel. I remember finding Mark 'The Couch' Winstanley hilarious but haven't seen him for years. Anyone know how he is getting on now?
 
Taking stock of my Cheltenham ante post bets -

Bambino Fever - Turners - kaput
Conman John - Albert Bartlett - kaput
East India Dock - Stayers - kaput (I remembered an interview where James Owen said he would be campaigned at the Stayers, and so I started picking up fancy prices on the exchange, until it dawned on me that the fancy prices were there because there was no campaign)

Still on -

Jukebox Man - Gold Cup - 40/1, 25/1, 10/1, 17/2 (as the evidence kept stacking up I kept adding)
New Lion - Champion Hurdle - 11/2
Minella Yoga - Triumph - 33/1
Act of Innocence - Turners - 25/1
Fruit de Mer - Albert Bartlett - 40/1
Hyland - Ultima - 33/1 - silly to bet on the handicaps this far out, but this is by way of replacing the bets on Hyland I had to withhold because the ground was wrong, in other words pretty irrational
