Ryanair Chase 2018

I see it the other way around . He might be risked over 2M on heavy but not the Ryanair distance. I think the likelihood is he will not run if the rain continues chucking it down in Chetenham and the going worsens.

It's not heavy right now. :)
He settles better than uds that's for sure.

Ryanair or non runner would be my opinion now fishy.

I don't see any way he runs in the Champion Chase at all now.

Ricci appeared to have no idea of the likely ground
 
Wullie will decide in the end, not Rich Ricci.Why risk your best horse on bad ground and up in trip after a year out.No chance for me will Douvan run in this.
 
douvan loves bad ground. reason why it fucked itself last year was cos it was struggling to go the pace on good ground and its jumping was under pressure
 
Blame full square on the Racing Post.

Yeah to be fair, if anyone backed with WillHill.... they've been a little bit screwed?
 
Small potatoes really but just managed to get 2U on UDS at 6/4 in the wake of the Douvan news. No way he goes off odds against

I have my eyes open, but Will Hill's essentially not been NRNB at all this year (unless out injured) bit of a joke really

Yep I never bet with Willhill antipost unless the horse is only selected for one race.. like the Pertemps

The problem is, you'd trust the racing post...so when they tweet to say "Douvan confirmned for the Ryanair".... you then see that as one target and take the 4/1 on offer.
 
Agree, the bible hasn't come out of this well....

Can they still take horses out after the 48 hour decs?

I’m not going to be surprised if MIN gets rerouted to the Ryanair now- I’m still not convinced Ricci will put both eggs in one basket.

Is Min still in the Ryanair entries?

And by the way the Racing Post is FILTHY- never trust a word. Learnt that many moons ago.

Djakadam the likely one.
Min can't run.
