Best bet/Biggest winner

Last festival for me before myself and the wife finalise our first mortgage and have our first child due on June 20th so I'm going at Cheltenham and Aintree with all guns blazing :)
More Of That and Vyta Du Roc will be good AP results
Box office in the Pertemps
Monetaire and Sametegal in the plate
Tycoon prince in the MP
Gilgamboa-Ryanair
Valseur Lido(hoping against hope that he runs) to spring the shock of many a year in the GC

Greatest week of the year, Bring it on!

Sametegal and Tycoon Prince not declared :(

Mortgage?

and Whats worse first mortgage?

are You going to have more than one?

and finally, Child on Royal Ascot dates?
 
Yes the RA date made me smile
Shalaa should compensate for the paternity pay :)
 
Second Grassy's congratulations, Fonz. Vyta might work as a name but Gilgamboa-no!

Least I've done AP for years,
by a long way, and since my track record shows that my AP hit rate backing short prices is actually worse than when I go for longer ones I've avoided quite a lot of races this year.

The single bet that has the most impact is what is for me a large ew on New To This Town. Originally intending to trade perhaps half ( hence warning in Bumper thread) found the market too small to be worth the effort. So have just over 20's average and am sticking with it. Reading post late night that the horse wouldn't run, just after watching Spurs smashed at West Ham, really depressed me. Soon recovered.

Medium bets include Taquin De Seuil(yesterday), Rock the World, Road to Riches(GC), John Constable-for once I agreed with an adviser and Altior.

Have a lot of multiples, many are small stakes Yankees etc( limits) but also several higher stakes doubles and trebles where successful returns would yield £10k and £20k respectively. At the odds of my selections that not too costly. In addition to the above horses, permutations also include Vicente, Oscar Sam and surely a forum favourite Rolling Maul. I really think he has a fair chance. I would be chuffed for Roddy were he to win and whilst my ew single would fund my celebration it would certainly boost multiple returns.

FWIW I think Yanworth could be exceptional. Got the same feeling watching him on Trials Day as I did watching Sprinter Sacre going chasing. Missed the prices but might be tempted on the day.
Good Luck all!
 
The e/w Trixie for tuesday is...

1:30 Altior
2:50 Algernon Pazham.
3:30 Nicholls Canyon

Good luck all.

I think this is where we're putting these:

Min/Vroum Vroum Mag/Douvan/Un des Sceaux win acca
Altior/Nicholls Canyon/Polly Peachum win trixie
Morning Assembly/Vicente/Thomas Brown ew trixie
Stephanie Francis/Vicente ew double
Morning Assembly/Thomas Brown ew double
Carole's D'estrier/Thomas Brown ew double

I'll probably struggle to post in advance for the rest of the week, but if I can I will.

Just realised I missed Annie Power out when typing the acca.
 
My only antepost action was 3 e/w multiples. One has gone, one is hanging by a thread (Shaneshill JLT) but the other looks good as two of the four have significantly shortened in price (Tombstone, Vibrato Valtat, GLV & Vyta Du Roc).

Just put Min, VVM, UDS, Thistlecrack & Vautour in a multiple which covers all the 4 folds.

I've also done an e/w yankee on Southfield Royale, Lami Serge, Dynaste & Shantou Village.

Loving Southfield Royale, Out Sam & Bouvreuil tomorrow. They'll end up in an e/w trixie at some point.
