Ryanair 2020

Anyone an idea whether B365 are likely to suspend this market during the Tingle Creek on Saturday? Have Min in the book already but I'd be keen to be hovering over him for a good top up if Defi looks to have the pace for 2m going forward! No doubt Min's price will be gone Sunday if he hacks up.

I'd have thought they'll freeze Defi in particular rather than the whole race

Actually think Min will bypass Cheltenham altogether and wait for Aintree/Punch. Looks a much better horse on easier/ flat tracks. Think Ryanair may be just too much for him at Cheltenham and that hill despite him running good races in past over 2

I think it's a realistic possibility, especially if Footpad is in good form too, WPM can take the JLT @ Cheltenham with one and then @ Aintree with the other
 
I'd say it's unlikely to happen personally.

He mentioned the likelihood of Douvan needing dropped in trip, Chacun is probably also QM bound. I'd say Min goes to Ryanair alright. He still won easy at Aintree.
Ricci will want winners, and to do that he needs runners.

He finished 2nd twice behind the best horse of the last decade at Cheltenham. He wasn't himself last year but I think the fact 2m is clearly too sharp a trip for him now had something to do with that. The 2nd behind UDS at Punchestown backs that up. I'd fancy him for the Ryanair myself.
 
Absolutely no chance at all they bypass the festival with Min surely?
The race (if any) they'd bypass would be the 2mile chase at the Punchestown Festival where I don't think there's a middle distance race there?

2m4 i his trip now. Ryanair and then onto the Melling Chase. We know he can back up at the 2 festivals.
Mullins may slot horses in and around eachother but he doesn't just give up a festival runner.

If he's in any kind of form he'll be running for me - 100%.
 
If they all stay fit and sound, I think the Mullins horses are fairly easy to work out this year:

QMCC - Chacun Pour Soi and Cialos Emery
Ryanair - Min and Footpad
GC - Al Boum Photo and Kemboy

Obviously Douvan is there to add in, but it wouldnt surprise me at all if he doesnt go... or is used as a sub. Obviously that can all change with one injury, but if they do all make it, they all look pretty clear.
 
He also has UDS, Bellshill, Cadmium, Duc Des Genievres, Great Field and Real Steel rated 160 or higher.

Appears to me that most contentious opinions emanate from one quarter

Agree with you CCM and hope we’re correct!
 
Changing the subject slightly, would anyone know if Aso is a definite runner in the Peterborough Chase? Plenty near the top of the betting won't be running and I think 6/1 is huge for him in this if he's a certain runner?

Not disagreeing with any of them..... but this has the potential to be a hilarous post to look back on :)

Mullins horses easy to work out?

Not as bad as Jono predicting Mullins time was over though a few years back :highly_amused:

This wouldn’t surprise me one bit

QMCC - Min & Cilaos Emery
Ryanair - CPS & Douvan
GC - Footpad, Al Boum Photo & Kemboy
 
whats Peoples thoughts on cyrname going to Cheltenham I know they said there’s plenty of other races to be aimed at but I’m sure the racing public would love to see him take on Cheltenham in March as far as I seen his jumping was fine last time out personally to me in order to be considered a champion Cheltenham counts big time
 
CPS has to be going for the QMCC surely? I could definitely picture Footpad going to the Gold Cup though.

Footpad would never stay the GC trip. Likely beat in the KG, then back to here
