Ryanair 2020

I'd be gutted if Frodon was good enough to beat Min in the Ryanair.
 
Wouldn't be surprised if Frodon's Ryanair has taken it out of him on the back of a hard year. He's looked pretty lifeless both times this season and Derham mentioned a while back that they were struggling to get him right at home.
 
The closest Frodon will ever get to Cheltenham is driving past on the M5 en route to Fakenham.

Haha what a preposterous statement. Frodon has 5 course wins including last years Ryanair and also including beating your precious EE last January over 3ml 1 1/2f giving 2lb.
 
Must be the first time someones used "preposterous" on here, great stuff lol lol lol

The Beatles had 17 number 1s and they are equally irrelevant to this years top 40 as Frodon is to this years Cheltenham festival. Yesterday is history.

But form to horse racing is crucial to punting. Otherwise we all may as well shut our eyes and pick a number or choose our favourite colours.
 
I properly laughed out loud twice then.






I love this race as a NRNB race.

Horses like Cyrname are ones they might get massivly wrong even though he must be a 20/1 shot to even run.

His main races were always going to be pre-Cheltenham, so you would have to be concerned that he could have given his all, one time to many, before March.
 
Would Top Notch be a lovely outsider in this or has he had his chance? 3 figures available on the machine!

Yeah possibly, certainly is more of an 'after thought' than it will be for the majority of his rivals.

His key target is (and always has been) the Ascot Chase if you believe Harry Derham, and I have no reason not to.




He'll be a max bet for me if the price allows it (doubts regarding his run in the KG)....


I just think he's a loads better horse than I ever realised and a prime NRNB kind of poke.

If he was definitely running I'd want him at 3 figures now and I'd trade off when declared....

but I reckon he's probably more likely to run 40 minutes later?

Hendo too much of a fadge to put him in a G1 open chase....him being so small and all that ****?

Entered against Altior this weekend. Just a thought:devilish:

He won a Peterborough Chase all the years ago so you should know he can't ever do anything ever again :highly_amused:



Can you remember who it was that said that? (Obviously paraphrasing a bit).... but I used to argue with them all the time?
Are they still about? Can't be can they :concern:

Doctor Wu (I think that's what his name was)

Was always good for a stat or two.
I miss him :blue:

He'll be back before the start of March. He loved to wind a few up, myself included:dejection:

Iv come across him on Twitter in the comment section of the replays I often watch.

Think he waits for the handicaps and the stats etc... before he let's his judgement loose.

Nicky must be f'ing about again. Top Notch shortening for Sat + Altior an almighty drifter

First of all he chickens out of the Defi fight and now hes scared of Frodon and little TN :highly_amused:
