2026 Ryanair Chase

IEP wins if he runs!

I would love that

I thought he was the Ryanair winner after Aintree


Although I assumed Fact To File would be going Gold Cup after he romped the Ryanair.....

Shame that even winning the Irish Gold Cup doesn't book your ticket.

….IEP still 12-1 AP with 365 if you want to take a risk.
 
It would be kind of bittersweet if he does win because i went mad rolling him up between last years Cheltenham and especially after he won the Manifesto he was a 6k winner for me at the start of May last year. I also thought the gradual thing for Fact to File would be to have a go at the Gold Cup.

Cashed out most of those bets due to his dispearance but I've still got a decent single on him plus a treble of

McIlroy Masters 6/1 (won)
Impaire Et passe 14/1 (Ryanair)
iroko 25/1 (GN)

that i put on between Aintree and the Masters last year that pays a fairly nice sum so I'm just hoping to get a run for that bet tbh having probably given up hope. Heading to Aintree this year so that would be quite the buzz if that bet was still up for grabs.

I know that Munir & Souede aren't as Cheltenham centric as most owners but still think it's crazy that IEP absolutely smashed up in the Ballymore 3 years ago and hasn't been seen since.

Will be following those decs this morning, fingers crossed.
 
After looking a crap race all year we have ended up with a belter

Interesting to me that jonbon and impaire are running

We have seen F2F fail to back up big runs several times now

Are JP and willie running others because hes not working great?
 
Fact To File is going to end up getting pulled.

Fran berry now mentioning the ground and they are worried.
 
Sorry should have put in here instead of the Weather watch! From Racing Post.
The Irish Gold Cup winner has drifted to evens (from 4-6) this morning, with the quick ground cited as a possible reason he might be declared a non-runner.
AP McCoy, speaking to TalkSport this morning, said: "I don't know if Fact To File is definitely running."
Meanwhile, JP McManus' racing manager Frank Berry added: "I’m very worried about the ground, it’s up in the air at the moment."
 
I'd actually like him to get pulled out
Would make the race more intesting

It’d take down a lot of multis for people but also be a benefit to long time IEP backers, Heartwood (big price) ew backers, plus late Banbridge ew ‘bet to nothing’ merchants. Would class myself as all three, plus a late Jonbon cover backer who’d lose out on rule 4.

Can tell you haven't played Antepost as much this year.

Ironically one of the only very early ante post bets I had is Fact To File in the Ryanair ... and impaire et passe :p

@jrjr Surely not many on for any relevant multis before NRNB or before decs though?

Should be running tomorrow, fuck the Ryanair :devilish:

“Lashing down” right now according to oli bell on ITV, hard to see it but all looking for shelter in the crowd. Good news.
 
Surely just chatting absolute shite so that JP can get on and he'll go off much shorter

Rain always looks worse when the wind is 20mph plus! It’s barely raining.
