2025 Ryanair Chase

[That Horse]

Mate of mine decorated Waddles hallway.

I'd have been dying to ask him what possessed him and Hoddle to do Diamond Lights?

Spent last five minutes wondering why Mullets were back in fashion.
Might google their top of the pops appearance now.
Then listen to world in motion.
Get all nostalgic and then go to bed and see of our lass will entertain my genitals for a bit.

King of the World. :triumphant:

She'll probably tell me to have a shower.

 

[ComplyOrDie]

Means nobody’s mentioned it

Yeah, connections and their friends are too busy laying him off on the exchanges for the Gold Cup, looking at his price :highly_amused:

 

[ComplyOrDie]

David Jennings, speaking with Willie.

"He's in the Gold Cup, but I imagine we might be leaning the other way," Mullins replied, when that question was put to him. "I will have to go back and look at the tactics from the other day, I'm not sure it showed him in the best light. Something different was tried the other day and I'm not sure it worked."

 

[Kevloaf]

Correctly'ing people is fun

hahahahhaaa ffs

:indecisiveness::barbershop_quartet_member:

Pussy

But I'll win a fortune :semi-twins:

 

[Kevloaf]

Ah ok, yeah that's what I was bleating on about really, I even had a bigger price at 7/4 that I thought

I do think he'll go off odds on.... but I have been known to be wrong at least once

[Garrison Savannah]

I'd say Frank McAvennie.
Got to be a celt really.

My first hero

 

[Bollinger]

Fact To File Boodles Gold Cup, 6-1/Ryanair Chase, 2-1
He’s a very good jumper and maybe we could make more use of his jumping, but they’re all things that have to be worked out and we'll look at other opportunities for him. The Ryanair hasn’t been touched on since the race.​



What does that mean? I'm asking that genuinely

I absolutely agree - and thought the literature of wording was totally unfathomable!

Especially when David Jennings, who’s probably in the know a little more than he gives on,on the previous page, suggested (with odds of choice of race) that the Ryanair would be the only option.

All very cryptic.

Given the irony that Jennings suggested this year that Mullins won’t be playing ‘cryptic’ at all this festival.

He can't say too much as JP will decide when he's ready.

 

[ComplyOrDie]

Il Est Francais well backed on the exchanges for this the past couple of days.

 

[Benjy23]

If Il Est Francais and Fact to File go in the Ryanair it would probably be the most interesting race of the week to be honest. :barbershop_quartet_member:

Fact ti File has drifted slightly and edged closer in Gold cup.
Not much money though. Just people playing I reckon.

There were positive comments from trainer re Spillane's Tower last week so perhaps JP is going to rely on him and send F2F to the GC ? Hence the money for IEF.

Spillane’s Tower is reported back in fine shape with a view to tackling the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham in March.

Trained by Jimmy Mangan for owner JP McManus, the son of Walk In The Park was one of the success stories of the season last year, rising through the ranks to win Group 1 novice chase events at Fairyhouse and Punchestown in the spring.

After spending the summer off, Spillane’s Tower appeared to have the world at his feet when finding Fact To File only half a length too good – with Galopin Des Champs back in third – in the John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown in late-November, but he could manage only fifth to Banbridge when last seen in the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase at Kempton.

The seven-year-old didn’t take the journey particularly well and “wasn’t the same horse” on Boxing Day, according to his trainer, who is now weighing up the possibility of another run at Gowran on Saturday week before taking aim at some of the major prizes in March and April.



Speaking on Thursday’s Nick Luck Daily Podcast, Mangan said: “He’s really coming back to himself which is great, he just didn’t travel over probably as good as he should at Kempton, and he didn’t run his race.

“The funny thing is, he didn’t sweat, he didn’t stop eating or drinking water and the next thing… well, he melted a bit and he wasn’t the same horse. It (the travelling) certainly didn’t help him.

“He’s back to form and he’s in the Ryanair. I’ll be speaking with Frank (Berry, Racing Manager to McManus) and we’ll see whether he’d have a run or not before that.

“He might go for the Red Mills (Chase, Gowran Park on February 15) but maybe it’s a bit close to Cheltenham, for this horse anyway. So we’ll see, and we’ll be discussing it and make a decision then.

“The main thing is that he’s in good form, we’ve had him away at a few different places for gallops."

 

[Lobos]

Sounds very much like Ryanair all systems go.

 

[darlojim]

Shame he wont make the plans, big frank and JP be deciding that and looks like they haven't spoke on it
