Ryanair 2019

Thanks lads, he looks a bet to me. Looking for something to go in a trico with Angels breath and Santini, that lad is the one!
 
Had a good win bet on Monalee for this race today. I’m on him already at smaller stakes e/w at 14’s but NRNB & HdB’s recent info on the festival preference had me sold. Always thought this trip would be ideal around Cheltenham. Think he’ll he’ll run & jump them into the ground here from the front playing into his strengths!

Absolutely 100% agree.

I agree with this as well
 
Might of already been mentioned on this thread, but does anyone think that Politologue WILL NOT run here. I always like horses that ran ok in the KG for this and he does fit the bill nicely.

This looks like the ideal race for Politilogue. Im with you on the KG when I'm thinking of having a bet in this race. So its a toss-up between Politilogue & Waiting Patiently? Thats a no-brainer in my book.
 
This could be one of the best/deepest Ryanair's we've seen. The presence of Altior in the Champion Chase will no doubt send horses in this direction.

UDS
Min
Politilogue
Waiting Patiently
Top Notch
Balko Des Flos
Monalee
Fox Norton
Terrefort
Charbel
Willoughby Court

Footpad, Shattered Love and even Might Bite could potentially end up here (extremely unlikely).

I had half an eye on Rather Be for this but after writing down that list I've gone off him:highly_amused:

I still stand by this post. The Ryanair is going to be a cracker this season.
 
Don’t forget Frodon is now rated higher than half of those too! ......
 
Would like to see Kemboy in this. Think the Gold Cup will come too soon for him this year.
 
Entries are on Monday. If he's entered he could line up.
 
I'll answer for him.
Entered and intended runner in Hennessy
Won Lexus by 7 lengths, not stopping.
Trainer desperate for a Gold cup winner.

I'd say unlikely, but not impossible.
 
He's got to be 1/1000 to go Gold Cup.

Has clearly improved with a step up in trip.

He didn't win (a moderate) JLT over C&D but has won a grade 1 over 3m.

The only good horse to come out of last year's JLT is Kemboy. On merit he deserves to go for the Gold Cup.

Staggered if he goes for this.
 
No, just recalling the stick that Rich Ricci got over Vautour.

which is the same thing, just don't get giddy on the red wine and start spouting
 
Very unlikely I know. Gold Cup is the pinnacle and Willie has 2 for the Ryanair.
 
Kev,
I know you're a fan of thinking The Storyteller will be entered up for The Coral Cup, but maybe he'll come here??
