2024 Ryanair Chase

[HoldenTheReins]

Probably won't run until thurles now

Unless they want to try the king george

I'd rather they went to thurles in january myself

If he was mine I'd take it easy with him and go Thurles.

[ComplyOrDie]

Janadil = Plate if they want to...

Yeah, definitely an option, for sure. He'll need his mark to come down a fair bit though, I suspect. Would be tough off 163 (last rating when racing in England).

[Atlantic Viking]

Stating the obvious but looked like he'll come on plenty for that, in testing conditions too (bit of waterlogging visible on the turn). 7/2-4/1 still seems ok for multi legs imo.

Yeah

All about the chance of a third ryanair

I would love to see him come over for the KG, as a racing fan that would be pretty exciting.
Reckon c&d should suit him fine.
Would enhance the horses legacy if he were to win that sort of race.

If the horse from punchestown showed up he'd destroy them

What a run that was

I thought he was 160 and with some clever planning could get to mid 150s.
That said it won't happen, Mullins doesn't target festival handicap chases and he probably thinks Janadil might sneak a weak G1 somewhere.
Festival handicaps are getting classier but I'm not sure we're ready for a 160+ winner yet...

Well let’s hope he turns up, be nice to know how good he is these days

[opatcho]

I’m sure they set out the season with the priority being making sure he remains fit and healthy, and identifying races to help him with that

Stay at middle distance and win the Ryanair

Believe Willie said they were working backwards from the ryanair with him on a stable tour video I saw

But may be miss remembering

[Carnage at Taunton]

Don’t know for sure, but I get the impression that a lot of people think Allaho is one of the best we’ve seen.
I also get the impression that a lot of people pooh pooh the Ryanair.
Maybe a good win against elite Gold Cup types would cement his place amongst the real good ones.
Doing what Alberta’s Run did or very nearly did, probably wouldn’t.

Well if that’s the case, then fair enough I guess

He already did that at punchestown didn't he

[Carnage at Taunton]

Well it was a good performance, but he beat three 10 year olds at the end of the season all past their best.
So no I think he needs to put in a performance against horses that are still in their prime in a top 3m race.
I think the horse deserves a chance of that, and imo the KG is the perfect race to achieve that.

[Outlaw]

Semi interesting comparisons today vs Mares, Allaho has basically gone within 4L circuit on circuit, The Mares have gone 40L quicker final circuit vs their first. The mares were circa 12L off Allaho on first circuit so whilst going a bit slower first up they had a proper race jumping the last up the back(3 out) on second circuit and did the second circuit 32L quicker, whilst Allaho had no real pressure, set a consistent tempo and Janadil for whatever reason has not run like he can do fresh, he's bossed a pretty soft race for all it's good to see him back and well.
