Ile atlantique won his first start in bumpers, then lost the other two
He won his first start over hurdles, then lost the other four
hes lost every time hes taken on a decent horse, including a defeat by Firefox in bumpers
To say he's not for me would be an understatement
Hes as much chance of beating gino as I do imo

Novice Chasing has to be a route to something bigger and better, if you're a 160 Open Grade 1 Hurdler.
Not the Ryanair

I think most in here would agree with that but there’s no doubt in my mind there will eventually be a fifth day and the Ryanair will become a new championship race that headlines that day, whenever that day might be, so years from now the Ryanair will be seen as a long term target, not a race for Gold Cup non stayers…Originally posted by Saxon Warrior View Post

There's more chance of whips being banned than NH being strong enough to have a 5 Day Festival at the current time.Originally posted by Istabraq View Post
The Ryanair betting is usually a complete mess because of its well established fallback position for those that believe they can't win the main 2M and 3M2F - the Sprinters and the Stayers Championship Races.
Only when a horse like Allaho ended up romping it for the first time, did that races betting establish a shape to it, next time round, with Allaho headed there again.
It's the usual mess up again this time round.
But it's a well established decent (Cat 2) Grade 1 Festival race, and well worth its place, as a pack shuffler race after the QMCC and Gold Cup main players are established.
Long may it remain a Festival Race.Last edited by Saxon Warrior; 3 January 2025, 11:12 PM."Journeys to Glory, breathing in his head".Comment

Baring in mind Cheltenham isn't the only place with a decent pot a mid distance chase can go Ryanair/ Melling Chase - worth 140k itself - rather than be pigeon holed to a hurdle race that doesn't suit in the CH/Stayers before AintreeComment

Pic D’orhy eg has picked up over 800k without running at the festival so proves the point that mid distance chasers can earn good money if placed wellComment
