Ryanair 2020

Completely agree with Altior. Now lets add a 2 1/2 mile open graded hurdle. get rid of 2 mares races soon to be 3 and switch them to April. Make them all grade 1 for paddock value and add Cross Country, NH chase and possibly Fred Winter!
 
Think the value bet in this is A Plus Tard. Trainer says this is his target which is worth a lot. Completely ran away with a competitive looking HCP this year winning with a ton in hand. The trip is spot on and showed a real liking to the course/fences. 20/1 is tremendous Ew value.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's just you creating a second account just to ruffle feathers :highly_amused:

You'd have to respect the Cheltenham run of A Plus Tard but it seems to be over a stone better than anything he's done before or since albeit in a small sample size. More evidence required.

No reason to change my mind as yet. The form of that Close Bros hasn't been upheld by the placed horses.

Im very sceptical of all that day one form. Till they prove they can replicate it.

The placed horses were in a different county. Think that APT could be one of those horses that absolutely excel at Cheltenham in the Spring every year.

What would MIN DOUVAN FOOTPAD and DEFI DE SEUIL have done in that race off 145?

Nobody can answer that unfortunately. I see what you are saying though and suspect they all would have won. As impressively, who knows.
 
Cracking run from Kalashnikov there with top weight. Probably don't see him a Ryanair horse myself, but think he'll be better suited to Aintree.
 
Thought it was a really encouraging run from Glen Forsa too. Travelled a bit too keen but had them all in trouble when outstayed. Not sure if it was the trip or his rivals being race fit but nice to see him put a good run in after disappointing at the spring festivals.

Neither are Cheltenham Festival winners in waiting are they - nice horses but last year was probably one to just ignore for anything we saw in that 2m novice chase division with a view to the future.

Not every year and crop can be decent.

I definitely don't think the best ones ran at the festival anyway... bar Defi in the 2m division
 
I noticed Might Bite is scheduled to race at Aintree on Saturday over 3 miles. I’ve always thought after last seasons timid finishes a drop back in trip would suit. Do you think if he was let loose at the front and confidently ridden he would have the pace to win a Ryanair? I think he could and preferred the tactics when he was allowed to dictate up front. He’s 50/1 for the Ryanair but I can’t see him coming here but if I owned I would

You need to go back to the opening post of this thread Pimm.
 
In that case I completely agree with what you posted Q about Might Bite 22 pages back :highly_amused:

I didn’t realise he was 11, I reckon they will aiming at a shit or bust Grand National tilt with him then if they are racing him at Aintree this Saturday. It makes sense, he’s always been a very exuberant jumper and likes to gallop, if he can steer his way through the pack he could have a real live chance. I’ll leave the 50’s for the Ryanair for now

Get Clan Des Obeaux priced up.

He'll go close but not win the King George and will run here.


Someone request it and demand 50/1
 
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.
