Couldn’t have state man on my mind. He’s spent a season injured and has to prove he’s recovered. He’ll be 10yrs old next season so his best days will be behind him. Time waits for no man……or horse

My worry would be that both Jockey and Trainer have said that the way he finished in the Gold Cup was not because he didn’t stay, but something to do with his wind, so therefore IMO they will start next season campaigning him as a GC contender and the Ryanair will only become an afterthought based upon the seasons performances…….pretty much the opposite of this seasons campaign

Yea, there's plenty of issues with the bet, which is why I didn't recommend it. I'm not even sure what you'd want to see in his races before Cheltenham for them to end up in the Ryanair.

I do think if he targeted the race he'd have a right good chance though.

Not sure if already mentioned on this Thread , but I was thinking of Air of entitlement for the Mares Hurdle , available @ 20-1 .
The Martin Pipe winner , often turns out , to be a classy type.

She's certainly got a great festival record, definitely one to consider, i reckon.

Firstly, don't think anyone has claimed July, if so then I am happy to give it a go?

Secondly, I like the Narcisco Has shout. Whilst I thought he was beating a moderate bunch, the form of 4yos has turned out very favourably. Franked again just today by Selma De Vary in France whilst Mange Tout won the Aintree 4yo race. What I also like is the performance of 4yos against older horses. Lord Byron just failed to pick up King Rasko Grey at Punchestown, Charme De Faust has ran well twice in graded mares novice contests. I'm sure there is another one who has run well in open company whose name escapes me. Still early days and they have been getting the weight advantage against older horses but, I actually think they could be a very good bunch. 20/1 in a division that probably won't be that strong is worth a go, even if will be a 5yo. The last 5yo winner was owned by McManus (Clutching at straws).

I've backed saratoga so similar comments apply, 5 years old and owned by jp. Has anything been said about the injury that ruled narciso Has out of the festival ?
