    Way overlooked in the market, receiving that weight I’d expect a big run

      Then I'd think, 'how annoying' I haven't got him at big prices or in any exciting multiples.

      • If Envoi Allen or Appreciate It wins on Sunday, ORs and RPRs are right out of the window and they should retire Allaho. Clearly, after the time off and aged 10 he's not as good as he was but even the Kempton run has him well clear of Sunday's main opposition. If he wins well he'll surely be much shorter than 3/1 for Cheltenham.

          I think he'll send them all into next week and go even money.

            It's not too late to roll him up!

            • This is probably going to look stupid in a couple of days but I think Appreciate It is a real dark horse for the Ryanair after looking through saxs race planning diaries.

              Sunday is the 3rd decent Ryanair pointing race that he will have run in this season.

              1st - John Durkan
              The last 4 years it has produced 3 ryanair winners a 2nd and a 3rd.

              2nd - Savill's Chase
              The last 5 years, non winners of the Savill's have produced 2 winners, a 2nd and a 3rd.

              3rd - Sundays Race
              2021 and 2022 winner went in to win both Ryanairs.

              Yes it isn't lost on me that Allaho fills up a lot of these stats, but that was then and this is now. We don't know if Allaho is quite the same as he used to be.

              Appreciate it is the only horse to have taken in all 3 races, and arguably has produced the best 2m4f form of the season of those that are likely to run in the race by splitting the two gold cup favourites in the John Durkan, which is the strongest pointer towards the Ryanair.

              Maybe he will fulfil his potential now, 2 n half might be his thing and he goes on to stun the favourites. Or more than likely I'm barking up the wrong tree and finishes well down the pack. But 14s I think is an alright price to have a little stab at and I'm a sucker for looking through the race planning and stat diaries and trying to find one at a bigger price in the market where they hit a few of the trends.

              • I'm not against him having a chance in the Ryanair like, and I get this is a Cheltenham forum and a Ryanair thread but... at 14/1 for the Ryanair or 8/1 Sunday it's a no brainer isn't it?

                If he can't win Sunday then I'd be chucking the Ryanair slips on the bin tbh.

                  Definitely

                  Sundays price is way better than his Ryanair price

                  • Yeh it does seem that way, I took some of the 8s when it was mentioned in here earlier. If he doesn't win that or even go close with that weight difference then it looks like curtains for his chances at the festival and I will keep quiet from now on

                    Also stuck AI, Allaho and Envoi in trebles with Hauturiere and High Class Hero as both of their races Sunday have previously produced Mares Chase and Bartlett winners.

                      Do the double, you can get 25 if he wins sunday

                      • Useless stat alert............



                        Envoi Allen has never been beaten on his 3rd run of every season he's ran.

                          I think this might be a little bit hyperbolic. I thought he ran pretty well at Kempton on ground too fast for him at a distance that probably stretches him, he was only beaten 2l.

                          I actually fancy Appreciate It to win on Sunday getting weight but Allaho to win in March.

                            The Sunday single sounds much better value than that as well.

                              Agree 100% said as much page back about appreciate it. He’s just never kicked on from being the ‘older bully’ novice hurdler has he?!

                              Shame really and I know the injury post supreme has curtailed what could have been slightly.

                                I hope Allaho gets beat - fan boys over a middle distance horse..... doesn't deserve to be called a great
