2026 Ryanair Chase

Fact to file will be very tough to beat but Banbridge must have a chance on this drying ground

Ground is still a bit of a guess up, they're watering the new course tomorrow and there's rain due mid week although hard to know how much will fall and how it will affect the ground.
They won't allow it to be any quicker than good to soft, I think that probably suits everything....
 
7/4 NRNB now for Gaelic Warrior is massive compared to what he'd go off

Would only have Jonbon and Banbridge to beat



Don't think it'll happen still, hope neither of them ran here but that is fanciful

No just priced like decision made he'd be Paul's ride in the GC now

His NRNB price should be the same as Fact To File's IMO

Money back in a few days - I already have 3/1 NRNB though so wasn't really worth me even mentioning :ROFLMAO:

Still hope for Bon Jovi...

Nicky Henderson says a final decision on whether Jonbon runs at the Cheltenham Festival - and in which race - has yet to be made.

Speaking to Oli Bell during a visit to Seven Barrows on Thursday morning, Henderson explained that the JP McManus-owned Grade 1 star could still head to either the Champion Chase and the Ryanair Chase.

“The question is still open,” Henderson said. “He’s in the Champion Chase. He’s going to be in the Ryanair. JP does have other options. And we’re just going to see how the cookie crumbles.”

I’d say it depends on FTF running in the Gold Cup. If so then J could go Ryanair in his place.
As long as Maj is ok I don’t see J going QM.

On the Old Gold preview night he said the plan was Aintree but JP will make the call and he could still go Chelt.

Then on the WH preview AP said he didn't think he would go to Chelt, as JP loves him so much and he has had a couple of tough races.

Makes sense.
JP looking at J as a sub for FTF or Maj.
Goes to Aintree if both turn up at Cheltenham.
 
Can still get 100/1 NRMB on Croke Park with 365, 150/1 ante. We surely aren't getting more than 6 runners on the day, well worth a punt for the place part imo.
