Didn't see any action or footage today but did see a clip when Lydia asked him the other night Min or Allaho and without any hesitation he said Min!

That doesn’t surprise me one bit. Ruby will always go with the tried & tested proven champ but Townend will hopefully have a real dilemma on his hands this year,Originally posted by Big Bucks View Post
Allaho & Minella Indo went a right good gallop in the RSA so I don’t envisage him struggling to keep tabs on Min & Co. In the Ryanair especially if the field is a bit bigger as is looking likely.Last edited by SeanRock; 30 January 2021, 10:28 PM.Comment

Min - supreme, champ chase paceOriginally posted by SeanRock View Post
Allaho - Potato, RSA pace
Lets see whether Allaho has the pace for the Ryanair with the likes of Min, who is a quicker horseComment

At 10 he isn’t getting any quicker tho is he, I still really like him & rate him but willing to take him on this year with a younger improving type that’s unexpsosed over the trip!Originally posted by opatcho View PostComment

What if you need stamina to win this Ryanair?Originally posted by opatcho View Post
Why is a 2m5f race all about pace now?Comment

Ruby immediately said Min the other night, then immediately after that made a joke that he'd be fresher because Allaho had only just run.
The question was phrased as if the race was tomorrow who would you ride.
Think it's better for context.

It's a pointless speculation this far out. The question will be left open until declaration time.
In the meantime, PT will ride as many winners as possible in Ireland to try and retain his championship rather than plan ahead for Cheltenham.Comment

And you'd want him on Melon for a start wouldn't you ?Originally posted by archie View PostComment

Why is it all about stamina? Wont know how the Ryanair will be ran until we see final dec, conditions, front runners etcOriginally posted by Kevloaf View Post
However, you have two horses who like to run from the front. One is quicker than the other, and is proven over this trip. Rather side with the one which can handle the early pace of the race.Comment

Min did almost get outstayed by saint calvados last year
Had he winged the last every chance the result would've been different
If min cant shake off allaho early and get him out of a rhythm and hes within a length or two turning for home my money is on allaho finding more up the hill
A fascinating raceComment

I think MrFisher won’t be far off the pace, may even make itOriginally posted by opatcho View PostComment

Rachel Blackmore rides Janidil for Willie on Sunday.
Townend is on Monkfish
PAtrick on Asterion
Mark Walsh has obviously picked Andy Dufresne....
So Willie's 3rd choice is Rachel Blackmore, on a JP horse too?
I'd say that indicates IF he has a spare ride, and she doesn't have a ride...she's moved into a pretty nice position.
She may well end up on Min or Allaho in this race?Comment
-
Think she'd be a good match for Allaho. Get out in front into a lovely rhythm and keep squeezing in order to empty Min. I like that.Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostComment

She's certainly a positive on any horse... definitely up there with Paul, Davy and Jack IMO.
Not sure which UK jockeys would get in that group... Dickie, Cobden, Jonjo...all the step below?Comment

Does Henry not have one lined up for the Ryanair ??Comment
