2025 Ryanair Chase

Dont think JP needs to 'win a pot' :glee:​​​​​​

Oh he loves the money, don't worry about that. He's a business man remember.
 
Looks a cracking race this

No idea why the race gets so many negative comments

Most years we get a strong field & this could be one of best races of week
 
He gives significantly more money to charity than he wins with his horses. He aint in it for the money. Trust me.

Nan always said 'Never trust a man who says Trust me.' :welcoming:
 
He's definitely not in it for the money

Must lose an absolute fortune every year
 
….Protektorat boosted 8-1 with 365.

I agree - I've just had 2 pts e/w at 8/1 despite already being on... and added for the competition

It's just rock solid

Would you be happy with that bet if F2F, Gaelic and IEF turned up :/ ?

Maybe they all won't, but definitely possible.

I like Protek and haven't backed him yet, but think I'm going to hold off for the decs to see whos in there before playing him EW.

Do you think Mullins will run Gaelic and Fact to File.
I'd expect Gaelic to join Energumene in the champion.
Now El Fabiolo looks unlikely.

Think it could be weather dependent..

If its winter soft, I think Paul could well say Energ to CC, Gaelic to Ryanair please willie

And obviously would have little bearing with f2f being JP.

Yeah, I get the jockey angle, but think the owners and trainer would rather 2 have a crack at Jonbon than go against the Fact to file, French horse and Protek.

Bottom line with Gaelic IMO, is not the trip, it's just whether he'll show his best or not. Which race won't matter.

Willies already said Jonbon seems to be clear in his division right now, would they really use 2 darts there :/

If decent ground, then yeah I can see the angle, but if the ground is going Energumenes way, I can see Paul definitely on him. He hasn't a tonne to find with the ground swinging in favour imo.
