2017 Ryanair Chase

[Istabraq]

Leman - I was at a preview evening before his Supreme, 2014 maybe ?
They got talking about the Supreme and as his pilot Davy Russell said VL would win a Gold Cup one day, said he's never sat on a horse that gave him such a feel, he was all class and stamina.
Of course that didn't stop me backing VL in the Supreme when he finished mid division but I've followed the horse since, sending the horse back in trip doesn't sound like a smart move to me....

[Liammet]

Any chance the Tizzard talking horse ALARY will turn up for this ?
He is quoted in most books at around 20/1
Might be a little short of his optimum trip but surely it is here or nothing for the festival
Stable certainly not afraid to pitch one in at the deep end
However,if he is one for the future then the Gold cup is surely not an option for this year
Stable already heavily tooled up for gold cup as we know

Saying that - his two wins have been over 22f, so 21f at Chelt COULD be OK...

Staggered that GLV hasn't been given an entry..
Even if they are ultimately going CC - you would think that they would at least have a Ryanair entry.
There goes another AP bet....

I'm not a fan of GLV but amazed he hasn't got an entry - could he have picked up an injury lto?

[Leman14]

Possibly an injury, as you say FM.
I'm only disappointed, as I have a dabble at 33's at the beginning of the season.
Was strong in the betting for the JLT and it looked a relatively obvious target.. Lol!

[Kevloaf]

They didn't mention an injury. They have mentioned the CH and CC at different times this season but only to say he isn't good enough for either. I am shocked he hasn't got an entry. I backed him and thought he was a lively outsider at 33/1! Scrub a point off my 'live' and into the 'dead' section haha

[SH1591]

Valseur Lido injured apparently

Valseur Lido injured apparently

Possibly out for season....
Another bet bites the dust...

[Faugheen_Machine]

They are falling like flies.

[SH1591]

All the horses I've bet on keep getting injured

[mayo]

Happens every year about now - work gets stepped up and some just break down.

[Kevloaf]

It is like ante post bet slip bingo ... but in reverse? Every day for the next 8 weeks is nervy!

16/1 nrnb Zabana.
A decent performance in the Lexus.

16/1 nrnb Zabana.
A decent performance in the Lexus.

I think he's heading to the Gold Cup but you can him in both races NRNB now at 16s and 40s, wouldn't put anyone off that.
Of course I'm on Zabana for Gold Cup without the NRNB insurance..........at 40s !

16/1 nrnb Zabana.

Yes I think that is a great bet with the nrnb concession. I think this is the right race for him but connections are keen on the Gold Cup.
