2024 Ryanair Chase

Allaho will be 10 by the time of the Ryanair. I think he’ll find stage star hard to live with. Father Time catches up with us all!

What is funny about it

Simple race reading

If allaho and stage star go very hard early on they will cut each others throats

Old allaho would win anyway, current allaho may not keep going

in that sceanario Envoi Allen will likely win

If allaho can keep up :onthego:
 
Did well to stand up never mind win. You'd have to worry about him having a niggle in the morning after a mistake like that. A serious performance though,well done all you backers.
 
I said stage star could be allaho and allaho could be min
 
Any word on where he will go next? Be good to see him away from Cheltenham against the proper graded animals.

I think most would be happy not to see him run again until March.
Might be Nichols weak spot.
Can he leave a horse like that for four months ?

Nichols could look at one of these middle distances handicaps again as a prep run, the race in Jan tends to be weaker. The one Frodon won off top weight if I remember correctly

based on what we saw today from the GB handicappers, I think Nichols may be able to get him in of those these renewals and run well despite going up once again in the weights

He’d be mad to run him anfter Xmas after banging on about how good he is fresh for the last 2 weeks.

….he did say Stage Star runs very well fresh and it might only be two runs for him. Whether he sticks to that plan, I’m not sure.

If PN says he’s best fresh, then he will turn up
in March fresh
As for Allaho, I ain’t saying anything until I see him run again
EA is a big danger to any of them
 
Appreciate he's not the main one worthy of conversation today but as a backer... Saint Roi ran more like they're thinking about getting him handicapped than a Ryanair contender earlier. Hope not though.

Lobos must be this lads biggest fan, the fucker hasn't shut up about him for the past 12 months... well done mate :cheerful: onto a cracking bet:applouse:

Not wrong there. Serious performance. Should be Ryanair fav on the back of that.
 
Sorry Lobos, but you can only be number 2 fan! :eagerness:

Stage Star is so good around Cheltenham.
Only time will tell if he can beat Allaho, but for now, I’m well chuffed!!

I hope Nicholls puts him away until March and I’ll be cheering him up the hill, win or lose (or draw??)


:victorious:

Think frodon won the 3m hcap they have on trials day, I think your probably thinking of the 2 and half miler hcap on new years day, would be best suited to stage star, would leave plenty of time then to have him fresh for March I would have thought

Pleasantly surprised to see a boosted 60/1 with Ladbrokes still available about Appreciate It for this after today’s events at Cheltenham. Gladly gobbled it up.

Can I ask Why ????
 
I do like a supreme/arkle/queen mother like horse switching it up and running in the Ryanair

Captain Guinness would be on my shortlist if they decided to step him up - had settled into a professional. We’ll see how he fairs in the tingle creek and whether, if beaten, they decide to campaign and try middle distance
