Bouvreil - Brown Advisory - had some near misses at the festival in the past, but destined to win a handicap and from what I can see only entered in this race.
I've backed him... NRNB of course... but only 1 win in 12 isn't a great strike rate for the odds we'll be getting?

Vautour, Thistlecrack, Limini pass you by last year?
Followed by Cause of Causes... One of the best days of my life .... was St Patricks Day last year too... and Liverpool beat Man Utd! (I was in Liverpool for the day or that wouldn't have gotten a mention)

UNWIMH & Airlie Beach are, IMO, the 2 strongest bets for that Thursday currently, obviously Yorkhill may have a say in that, assuming he makes it to the JLT.
Of the other races, I've not hidden my confidence for Golden Doyen in the Pertemps, but the race will likely be wide open as it is every year, and I'm sure many will have differing views for that race, Presenting Percy and For Good Measure being 2 other solid chances in that same race.

This could be a day of short priced favs - Yorkhill, UNWIMH and Airlie Beach .... UDS?
All likely to be very short? Likely winners but not great value?
Empire Of Dirt in the Ryanair is an each way price with a good shot at winning?
La Bague Au Roi is a game little horse and whichever horse Ruby sits on will almost certainly be close to evens?
Yorkhill is surely one to take on based on his jumping and idling, with Top Notch a solid contender at an each way price?
I do think UNWIMH is solid, but I'd still think Jezki has enough class to win this race and bounce back from his 2m run this weekend
Just worth considering that some people don't particularly like backing short priced favs, even in a yankee?

Is Empire of Dirt definitely Ryanair bound Kev ?
As for yankee favs, I think that's the case when the jollies are very short but there's only Yorkhill, Harry and Airlie Beach and they're between 13/8 and 9/4.
I have plenty of 2/1 and 9/4 shots in e/w yankees, and there are still 4 other very competitive races....

If you are looking to go the each way value route surely Sub Lieutenant worth a go. 2 wins early in the season over 2m 3f on decent(ish) ground and it's beaten form since is amongst the best in this race. Plenty of experience over fences and Mr Ryanair himself confirmed it for this race over the weekend. 10/1 NRNB or 14/1 Antepost should have a great chance considering the doubts over the favourite if the ground has good in it's description.
Another to throw into the mix must be Shaneshill. Comes good at this time of the year (3 2nds at the Greatest show on turf) and for me is the likely one to chase Harry home if he is on song. If Harry is below form I believe this is the one to pick up the pieces. 9/1 ish NRNB
Yea, Michael O'Leary said that is where EoD will go on Sunday and SL website had the quotes too.
I don't think Airlie Beach or Yorkhill will be bigger than 5/4 by the Sunday (If confirmed by that point?!)
I would be very happy to back them, just thought it is worth mentioning
A horse I'm quite keen on for the Kim Muir is Potters Legend, think hes around a 14/1 shot. Ran really well in defeat to Royal Vacation at Cheltenham on his last start at a trip just short of his best. Will have to see how high he is in the weights when they're released.
I think there are plenty looking through the threads who are keen on Airlie Beach and Let's Dance so I will include whichever one runs in the Yankee.
Some good suggestions so far for the other races. Keep them coming.
