Ryanair 2020

For people against Min, he's now 3/1....

Now you can make your points about this not being the right race for him etc .... but when you do, just remember we've been telling you he's good value all year

:devilish:

Could trade out now noooooo problem

Didn't you know Kev, Min doesn't fair well up the hill. He's 0/3 at the Festival and horses with that type of record don't go on to win this, history tells us that......................... other than:

Our Vic (165) 0/3 @ the festival, won the Ryanair
Fondmort (157) 0/3 @ the festival, won the Ryanair
Thisthatandtother (155) 0/3 @ the festival, won the Ryanair
Frodon (169) 0/2 @ the festival, won the Ryanair
Balko (166) 0/2 @ the festival, won the Ryanair
Dynaste (169) 0/2 @ the festival, won the Ryanair

Wonder how Min (171) will get on :devilish::devilish:

We'll all just row in behind Min then, he's a certainty!:highly_amused::applause:
 
Just for the record.
I'm not a believer in Min being a weak finisher at all.
And I started this thread saying he ought to run here and 12-1 was a decent price.

His price now though is not decent at all.
Just think something will beat him.

Have a preference for younger second season types myself.
They don't always win and some of the more experienced sometimes do.
But most of the time I prefer them young, hungry and with potential for more.

Min the Mong.:devilish:
 
Hi avid reader of the forum but never post - enjoy all the pre cheltenham chat!

Surely Cyrname at 7/1 8/1 nrnb is one of the best bets around antepost? I know Nicholls has been adamant its unlikely to run, but if Ascot gets called off tomorrow then it would make it a bigger possibility the horse takes its chance in this race?

What odds would people make Cyrname against this field? It's gotta be shorter than a plus tard ? 9/4 fav possibly?

Welcome nicho.

It's the perfect NRNB bet if you're happy tying up some funds

Hello :)
It is a no brainer bet. Not done it myself though for some reason.
I'll do it now though as the called off thing makes a lot of sense.

Doubt he'd go favourite though as people would still bang on and on about left hand right hand stuff . etc etc

Rightfully so though? I wouldnt fancy cyrname at cheltenham at all, its telling that hes never even been there! Just dont think the horse is right for the course at all. But yes 100% worth a bet at those prices

You might not be privvy to comments i've made on this subject previously.
But Cyrname was shit whichever track and direction he ran in until four runs back. Check his form.
He's now the highest rated horse in training.

Call me Lord had never gone left handed in the UK (because he couldn't :rolleyes:) then ran his best ever race at cheltenham.

It's not sufficient evidence that something cannot be done - by not attempting it in the first place.

I thought the same so had a bit at 9/1 NRNB with Sky the other night as happy to tie up the funds, with the 95% expectation that it won't turn up.

I first backed Cyrname in a novice chase at Newbury in December 2017 (beaten by Bigmartre giving it 2lbs !!) and at the time made the mental note to back it the next time it went right handed. So when it pitched up at Kempton a few weeks later I had a bigger bet and it was one of those occasions where it felt nice to be right for once....

It then won another couple of races at Kempton and Sandown (didn't play at the prices it was then in the grade it was in) before going to Aintree, where it ran well enough but didn't look like going left handed suited.

Of course - this is essentially ancient history now and the horse hasn't been l/h since April 2018.

Do I think it will turn up in the Ryanair? In my heart of hearts, no.
If it does turn up, would I expect it to win? Ditto
But - did 9/1 NRNB seem a decent fallback if the unlikely happened? In my book, absolutely...
 
They went too fast in that ground, but you still have to be impressed how Riders went with and disposed of Cyrname.
hope the fallers are ok.
He may need a rest now.
 
Well played to the guys on the big tickets about riders!

Yes hope cyrname is ok!

I reckon traffic fluide had him for falling.
 
A sickening fall.

Very good from Riders but may have left his race behind with that performance.
 
Traffic Fluide has done enough to spare my blushes there :highly_amused:


When Riders Onthe Storm was looking like crushing Cyrname I thought it was a mega performance.... a couple of furlongs later, I'm confident Cyrname hasn't run to form and therefore I can not worry about Riders at his likely price!

(If he shortens that is)

Was it that good?

Traffic Fluide is not anywhere near being good enough to get placed in a Ryanair is he?



I don't think you can believe Cyrname has run anywhere near his form there before falling?

This is how I see it. Hope Cyrname is OK though.

Agree with this.

Riders was super impressive.
