Ryanair 2019

Balko Des Flos 12/1 would be the bet if I knew it was running. Race will cut up and Min is a suspect fav.

same here, just been hovering with ladbrokes

Yep stung me too that one! What’s the story there? Was backed like they really fancied her - must have had a setback

He's said ground was looking like getting too soft ?
But he thinks it's a national horse ?

Me three, as I was on at 20s!

WG in his column:

Theatre Territory on the other hand doesn't head to Liverpool. I'm just worried the ground is going to get very testing up there. She'll wait for Cheltenham next week or a mares' race at Newbury on the 19th - I'm reviewing the situation with her.
 
Filthy each way bet chaps.

“Balko Des Flos will go for the John Durkan. He seems really well.

“A couple of things showed up after Down Royal, so I hope we have him right again.

“His next run will tell us more.”

When did he say this ?
 
Cheers, I thought I'd read that a few days ago.
I'd have preferred him to have said it again tonight mind. Greatrex couldn't have been more set for the becher in his interview a couple of weeks back.
But Fuck it, it's only like them refusing at start or falling at first anyway.
I'm On.

Is it a filthy ew?
Imo it wont cut up that much and he'll be convincingly beaten
 
I'm taking the chance. 12/1 3 places will look a stonking bet when it cuts up.

Let's hope you're wrong on both counts.
I was impressed with his Ryanair win, I've only really seen one horse travel up and cruise past UDS like he did, and he was as good as any of us have seen.

I think it will cut up especially if there's no rain. PP wont run if there's no rain. Bellshill wont run. BDF one of the few in there that wants an intermediate trip. Min is a strong travelling 2 miler. We shall see.
 
'The ground @punchestownrace (Sunday) is good, good to yielding in places (Hurdle/Bumper) & yielding, good in places (Chase) following 5mm of rain in last 24hrs. Using inside hurdle track on first circuit. Further showers forecast.'

It's still an hour to declaration time so Willie will change his mind at least 5 times before making a final decision.
 
Will they leave it at 3 places ? 365 changed my UDS bet to 2 places when race cut up.
