Ryanair 2019

That is the MAJOR hurdle over come from todays entries then :)
 
This has now become one of the hardest races of the week to predict, I can’t decide so will wait to what the market does close to the off
 
Monalee will make me thousands but so competitive cant get excited yet

Similar spot for me.

I'm absolutely terrified of Road To Respect. I can't remember what on earth I was doing not taking 8/1 NRNB.


Also scared of Frodon but every time I think about backing him, I remember him tailed off last year and thinking just how much better can he be this year? (I know the answer, but he's too short now)


and I'm also scared of Un De Sceaux, because I absolutely LOVE him, it's soft ground and he's a C&D festival winner - so what am I doooooing.



I had Monalee backed from ages ago, best winner by miles.
Footpad, Terrefort and The Storyteller (ha) would be good results.



but the 3 I've mentioned, Un De Sceaux, Frodon and Road To Respect are killing me.

I may well be in a different spot ten minutes before the race!

Monalee & Footpad show me a four figure return ( multiples), as I type the rain is lashing down

UDS will love the ground but I’m not loving his age though well preserved
Frodon ? V mixed feelings
Road to Respect ? Why did I just throw £20 @9/1 Why ?
Never loved this race but involved now and proving a conundrum
 
Last years IMPRESSIVE winner, Balko Des Flos is 20/1 with 4 places this morning. If you were offered 20/1 and 4 places after he crossed the line in it last year, and you knew he'd be coming here, it'd be absolute max bet material wouldn't it!

Un De Sceaux, the horse he walloped, is 6/1.


Big price for him to bounce back? Definitely a harder race though.


Getting side tracked :highly_amused:
 
Toughest race of the week for me

Have a nice ante post about Monalee but there are 6 or 7 in here with a real chance. Should be a good spectacle but I won't be getting too involved now. If you do it's surely a win only proposition isnt it? You couldn't guarantee placing in this field

I dont really fancy monalee even though iv backed him. Happy to be against footpad. RTR with a clean round should go very close. Might sound mad but charbel with 4 places at 33s is very fair. I don't think monalee is miles better than him personally.

If balko des flos wins. I give up all hope in this world.
But I completely get the bet. His form was shit going in last year too. Not a clue where his win came from.

Charbel a good shout. I fancy Coney Island to outrun his price too.
