Personally do not think he is good enough TT. Last years Ryanair in my opinion looks really bad I couldn't believe the price UDS was. On good ground Fox Norton should win this on all known form. On soft UDS wins.
I'll bite ... Which piece of form from Fox Norton this season enables him to win this race?
Anyone think Yorkhill will come to the festival? And specifically, here?
Considering he's won at the last two festivals, I will be really surprised if he doesnt myself. He's yet to run over what appears his optimum trip this season, so i think they will hope the combination of this trip, at a meeting he has shown a liking for, with Ruby back on board, will bring out the best in him.

I think he’ll run but provided Mullins horses stay fit Ruby won’t be riding him. He’ll be on Min, Un De Sceaux and Faugheen in any of the races he could run in, and that is without the slim possibility Douvan runs at the meeting.

On good ground I honestly think he might pick Yorkhill over UDS myself. Assuming Douvan doesn't run and Min is in the QMCC.
Keeping a close eye on Tizzard... cue Card this weekend, if he manages to bring him back with a decent run then I’ll be more confident on Fox Norton for this
Had the pick of last years form - second in champion chase
UDS, 10 year old. Will need overwatering again or rain
Top Notch, not convinced... those wearing the green silks always fall short at this level
Waiting Patiently will need soft, would be concerned he hasn’t raced at Cheltenham
Fox Norton would be my bet if he didn’t flop so badly in KG. I’d be willing to ignore that if tizzard’s yard is still firing come March

Knocking a horses chance because the owners 'always fall short' is a pretty flawed approach opatcho?
Peace and Co?
What if footpad win the Arkle? Is Top Notch more likely to win?
Ruth Jefferson confirmed today Cloudy dream goes for this... Trainer Ruth Jefferson said: "He's come out of the race at Newbury fine. We took him out of the Gold Cup and he'll go for the Ryanair, that's the plan."
She continued: "He always runs well wherever he goes, but I do think he's a better horse on spring ground.
"You'd like to think he'll have a chance of getting that when Cheltenham comes around, so we'll see."
Cloudy Dream has won three of his 11 starts over fences, filling the runner-up spot on the other eight occasions.
The Trevor Hemmings-owned grey chased home Altior in the Arkle at last year's Festival and is a general 16-1 to go one better in the Ryanair.
Could be nothing but on another Cheltenham page someone is claiming they’ve been speaking to the owners and Saturday is basically Waiting Patientlys Cheltenham; they are missing the festival so he’s tuned to the minute for Saturday instead
