2025 Ryanair Chase

[Istabraq]

Absolutely…we moan incessantly about trainers not being transparent and when they are we moan incessantly when they don’t say what we or our pocket want them to say…basically we are a bunch of entitled and incessant moaners …now why haven’t they fixed that fucking pot hole in my road and why is my train always being cancelled and have you seen how much a fucking racing post is these days and I’m sick and tired of this weather.

Especially the Donald Trump endorsed ones

Given the scenario we've got of Il Est Francais only going Ryanair if Fact to File doesn't... What price do we make IEF on the day in the Ryanair?

Banbridge the latest to not be going for the race.

Hard to see much turning out against him. Something like Gaelic Warrior being beaten tomorrow and stepping up I guess a potential concern.

Still think no one is talking about IEF, who has shown top class form at Kempton, but we have no idea how he'll take to Cheltenham's undulations.

Yeah gaelic beaten this weekend, you'd assume would step up.

But say no Gaelic/F2F/Banbridge

He'd be 6/4 against protek wouldnt he?

[Lobos]

The ground imo will be the decider with IEF. Very Soft and wet week and he goes CC. G/S and drying week Gold Cup. Soft Ryanair.

9/4 IEF
4-1 Protek
7-1 Energumene/El Fabiolo
10-1 bar

9/4 IEF
4-1 Protek
7-1 Energumene/El Fabiolo
10-1 bar

Do you think there's any chance Energumene goes Ryanair? Can't see it.

9/4 IEF
4-1 Protek
7-1 Energumene/El Fabiolo
10-1 bar

Totally dismissed Energ as I think they'd just go CC with him and hope its soft ground.

El fabiolo though I could see being shorter

Don't you dare tease me with the idea that my related accumulators of Salvator/Kaid (SUPREME), Kopek (TURNERS), El Fabiolo/Energumene (QMCC), Gaelic (RYANAIR) still have a chance after I've covered all my bets with Gaelic in QMCC now

If it's not soft ground then I think he may go ryanair, especially so if no fact to file.

Assuming Gaelic runs ok at weekend and Fabiolo well enough without winning.
I reckon it's El Fabiolo + Energumene

If it does come up softer then Energumene would join Gaelic I reckon.

simple

He'd need to show up well this weekend to be shorter.

[Lobos]

With GW's record around Leopardstown I'm not sure a defeat tomorrow would mean he'd step up. He's clearly Willies current number 1 hope for the CC and only unsuitable ground could stop him going for the Arkle/CC double in March imo.

[EnvoiAlien]

I've just covered Djelo @20/1 with B365 NRNB after all this talk of the race cutting right up.

[Lobos]

He'd need to show up well this weekend to be shorter.

Yeah, you get the impression from comments from connections that this weekend is just a cobweb remover.
