Ryanair 2020

At least that means he'll be a decent price in March.

Still a handicapper so you'd want 40/1 for a Ryanair?

That'll do nicely.

Good money again for A Plus Tard today. Those not on board need to take this horse seriously. Get on the APT train !!

Does seem to be that the bookies react to Gavin Lynch as anything he tips on Upping the ante seems to shorten within a day or two.

Unless literally nothing turns up, I don't see any way he goes close. A confirmation of a race dosent make him a likely winner.

Totally agree. No idea how this horse has got the reputation he has. To win a sub standard handicap off 144 makes him a future elite grade one winner ???? The worlds gone mad.

I beg to differ. Think he has all the attributes to run a huge race. With my main fancy Defi likely to go CC and current second fav Min likely to struggle up the hill over the Ryanair trip, I only see last year's winner Frodon giving APT trouble. He has is a cracking Ew bet for anyone who likes to bet that way. I simply cannot see him being out of the first 3 and see him as the likely winner.

Min struggle up the hill over the trip ???? Where do you get that from ?? Whenever the horse steps up in trip he improves, I personally think he should be having a crack at the King George. To beat Min APT is going to have to improve by over 10lbs. Just can’t see it and firmly believe this is the year Min will finally break his duck at the festival.

Best of luck with your opinion. I can't see him even placing myself. And pretty sure you'll do your dough.. however you've put your money up and backed your own opinion which is always encouraged.

Where as the "struggling up the hill min" for me is the likely winner of which i'v backed accordingly.

Looking at the Ryanair market there's a decent chance 4 of the 5 at the head of the betting won't run. Min is a worthy favourite and could easily go off about 2-1 but as I've stated before he's not a horse I like. I've backed Janika and A Plus Tard at bigger prices and there both a bit skinny on what they've achieved so far now. The 2 that at the prices appeal the most to me right now would be Cadmium and Le Richebourg at 25s each.

While he has performed over 2m4, if LR was to come to himself this season after the setback, i'd have thought he'd be the 2miler for JP

Massive IF of course.

I think Min should be favourite and will win.

But I don’t think Janika is skinny at all. He stayed on in his Tingle Creek run; he just clearly wanted a slower pace over further. I think he will has a half chance in this depending on the pace of the race. Needs to be honest not a crawl and a sprint.

I don’t think A Plus Tard is a write-off for this race. He is a 160-rated 5yo (rising 6) and the trainer believes he needs to go left-handed, and his trip is middle-distances. A big plus is that he is trained by HdB and ridden by Rachel Blackmore.

Since the last Festival he has run right-handed over 3 Miles and on seasonal debut - left-handed over 2 Miles.

As Leopardstown is 2M1F at Christmas we still won’t see A Plus Tard over his optimum trip and track conditions until he lines up on the Thursday in the Ryanair.

He didn’t look too shabby last year, I cannot recall being at the Festival and seeing a horse run at that speed up the hill in a 2&1/2M Chase (irrespective of opposition or weight).

Frodon showed us last year not to take lightly these potentially improving young french chasers, with track form.

Min is a solid fav for this if DDS goes down in trip, but the opposition to him shouldnt be written-off, racing just isn’t as simple as that.
