2026 Ryanair Chase

Phew , glad that's over with. Good luck betting him at that price though...out of my league!

Now for Lossiemouth!

Don't think many of us will backing him that price

Plenty be happy on at bigger though :love:
 
Surely Banbridge in this at 5/1 is each way bet of the festival? Can’t see it ever finishing outside top 3 or even top 2, and F2F might not be as invincible as people think….

I would say the better bet if you like the horse is to hit the place only market, get something like 11/10 to 3, 4/5 top 4 ?
I wouldn't be wasting the win bet against Fact to File, but if Bandbridge was to win you still make decent money on the place...
 
Banbridge also a confirmed entry in the Gold Cup.

A slight pattern is emerging with F2F

Great run in the ryanair
Didnt lift a leg at punchestown
Big run in the durkan
Didnt lift a leg in the king george
Great run in the irish gold cup

Hes far from certain to back up that career best on recent evidence

Bet without market
 
Bet without market
I’d be taking the gamble on F2F to blow up. Not a fan of the without market. Would rather EW get money back if 2nd or 3rd and hit bigger if he does win it. Not cheering on a 2nd place!

I see Racing Post's chief dart thrower has put up Matata, and clearly a few lemmings have followed in. I don't see the point in each-way bets that need a miracle to win, and the each-way part is by no means certain.

Yeah, hard to disagree
Nowadays they should just put up a place only bet for something like that
 
I had a few pennies on Matata a while ago .
Big price , thinking the race might cut up .
Same with Heartwood , .
Happy to pick up a place at the prices I have.

At the time that was a good play, especially when you could get 50s on both. Obvs no value IMO anymore. Good luck to you sir.
