Ryanair Chase 2021

[Kevloaf]

Other than Sizing John the Irish Gold Cup is hardly a key race of late for The Gold Cup. Not long to wait.

Not long to wait until you're proven wrong, yeah

Did anyone clock PM comments re Allaho pre Melon ride? He was talking way more candidly than normal and basically said Allaho is probably just a Grade 2 animal - that's not a direct quote, but it was something along those lines

[FinalFurlong91]

Noticed that Melon has run poorly 4 times in a row at the DRF

5th of 8
4th of 6
4th of 6
5th of 5

PP have Pushed him to 10/1 nrnb which i will be taking with my free bet tomorrow boosted to 11/1

Looking at the top of the market (likely runners) in this race, most of the horses would be coming into this after a very disappointing run.

Min - pulled up
Imperial Aura - unseated
Saint Calvados - unseated
Melon - poor run, though does have excuse of wrong trip, likely be better at Cheltenham
Samcro - same as Melon

Maybe it's always a similar situation with this race since it's usually for horses that aren't Champion Chase or Gold Cup quality, but just seems especially poor for the top of the market.

Allaho definitely coming into the race on the back of his best run this season, same for Mister Fisher (not sure about the form but was visually quite impressive) and I guess you could include Fakir D'oudairies in that if he comes here.

Very hard race to work out though.

Hard race, but a extremely interesting one

Fakir for me, best form with CPS and step up in trip on the new course will help

Although, there are plenty of angles

[jonthehammer]

This was looking a cracking race a month or so ago, now it seems to have all gone t!ts up.
I dont know where i am with it now

People have literally said this might be the race of the meeting.





Sorry for the dig, can't remember who it was that actually said it.... but once again, this race falls apart.... at the moment "grade 2" Allaho is the most likely winner....

[Lobos]

Was impressed with Fakirs run v Chacun. Do we think he'll come here? He should imo.

[Hurricane fly]

Fakir is a bit like Leeds united, it doesn’t matter how he gets beaten he still receives praise.

I take offence HF, at least we (Leeds) actually win looking good on occasions!

Fakir has barely fired this season though it was a step in the right direction yesterday.

[Istabraq]

Fakir’s form has just followed JOBs form, no idea what’s been the issue this season but if he starts to fire between now and Cheltenham you can expect fair improvement from all of his guns...
