Ryanair Chase 2018

WP Mullins bingo in full swing ladies and gents. What a world we live in
 
Sub lt 22-1 WH with boost each way looks a good bet to me.
might be a handful of runners in this on soft
 
I wonder if the race is also being considered for Min - Willie never elaborates and if he was only asked about Douvan...to cash out or not to cash out
 
Hope so mate. Hope so!

Don't actually lose anything as it was all NRNB but exciting nevertheless

Same all nrnb . Can't be having that he's going here cos he's not on form. Like you just said he's going here cos he's there best chance of a winner. He was never going to take on altior and poss lose his reputation. He'll keep the hype train running in this as a 3 time Cheltenham festival winner. id have him odds on for this. 4/6 8/11

He would like to split his horses but considering Ryanair for Douvan
 
Ricci sounds very keen on the Ryanair.

Ryanair has cut up

Will kick the idea around....
 
Douvan is a better horse than Min....If Douvan was right he would be in the Champion Chase and Min would go Ryanair.I personally think Douvan wont run anywhere.

Ryanair or nowhere. Unless Min gets an injury today
 
Really hope Douvan runs in this. Will be my lay of the week.

Not correct because altior is better than the pair. Min is the one sacrificed for the reputation of douvan the soon to be 3 time Cheltenham festival winner. Who's been placed impeccably.
 
Hands up, I've got that well wrong, very surprised douvan going for Ryanair, bit of a conundrum for ruby though....
 
I think Mullins will try and persuade UDS owners to run in the Champion Chase. 2m, soft ground. Him and Min could give Altior serious questions to answer.
