Ryanair 2020

He’ll almost certainty go here IMO. Min to show him a clean pair of heels

Min to fold up the hill imo, which is why I won't touch him. Should stick to Aintree and Punch.
 
taken the £ available @ 250 about Voix Du Reve in the Ryanair.

Yes he needs to improve + the stable has more fancied horses. Along the lines of Real Steel put up by Q for the Gold Cup. Has form over shorter, also has cheltenham form albeit when falling in the FW haha. Does look better right handed at this stage, but has form left handed. Actually more of it than Real Steel. Ran a promising reappearance behind Min. Didn't run so promisingly last time behind ABP. Mullins did have a few bad runners over xmas so hopefully sticking a line through that is possible.

Entered at weekend along with Min, Footpad, RS + others.

Not picking holes is 250/1 shots, and CoD will 100% agree with you ;) I think he spent more time talking up Voix Du Reve for the JLT last year than anything :victorious:


I'm not going to read that.... 10/1 best price about a horse who was absolutely walloped in the Close Bros is a rubbish tip.

Oddschecker should hire Quevega, I think he's on at a billion-to-one.

He fell in the Close Bros, if he hadn't he'd have walloped APT.

Wonder what price he'll be after he spanks Cyrname at Ascot?! :devilish:

He's certainly got it to do Kev i know that lol- He was comfortably a better horse in Ireland last year than ROTS though so i'll clutch at straws with that haha.
At 10/1 i can't see the race getting weak enough for him to shorten much even on the day? Seems a bit of a weak selection this far out? Would've thought he'd be a better one for on the day? Though i suppose if Holding and some of his time pals are milking the preview circuit they could convince a few and move the market!

Don't know what you're on about....:devilish:
 
Archie, if you are still involved with him what plans are there for Cadmium?

Would he be likely to head here?

I quite like the 20/1 nrnb with 365. He may have to step up in grade first but not sure what entries he has.

He was plenty in need of the run at Christmas. Willie said beforehand that 2m was probably too short for him these days but he had to start somewhere. At the start of the season the plan was graded races at around two and a half miles and see how far he could go.

He's entered in the 2m and 3m G1s at the DRF. The only 2m4f open graded races in Ireland would be Sunday's Kinloch Brae and the Red Mills in February although there is a big handicap at the DRF. He's not particularly well treated in the race conditions on Sunday but the participation of any of Willie's will depend on how they go on the gallops later in the week.

In essence, and just my own thoughts, if he holds his own in graded races he'll probably get a go at the Ryanair. If his handicap mark goes down by a few pounds you'd probably have to consider another crack at the Topham.
 
Cheers mate.

Yes I thought a step up likely and he may improve again. As you say the first run was probably too short and like many of mullins he will likely improve a bundle from that. Will keep an eye on him re handicap or here.
 
See Andy Holding put up Riders on the storm at 12/1 for this race yesterday:

I think if memory serves me correct FM was keen on this one. He’s now best priced 10s but you can get that with 365 NRNB so with the doubts about a few at the top of the market I’ve added to my team to go with Min and Footpad and that’s me probably done with this race.

:highly_amused:


Surprising 'tip' though from him?


and RC .... how lazy not to read the last 8 posts :p

Sloppy as you like ...haha. Did read the last couple, but didn’t go back far enough, anyway I have added the absolute pearl of wisdom that you can get 10s NRNB now. Seriously though I like the balance of a progressive one (ala Frodon last year) to go alongside the established grade 1 performers.

Yeah fair enough, I honestly haven't read it.... Iw ill shortly.

Just can't see me agreeing that 10/1 is a good bet when horses that are just LOADS better on all known form are 6/1.

Yep questioning it myself but thinking was no way I will get involved at single figures and if a couple do come out at the head of the market should be a bit bigger than SP. NRNB can cash out when you like, low risk
 
Would expect Footpad to put those away before the final fence
 
He’s in receipt of weight from everyone including 7lbs from VDR
