    Jp has only had 4 runners in the Ryanair since the race started apparently

    He also won the race with Uxizandre. I agree though that I think Defi will come here after winning The Tingle Creek

    4 runners in QMCC since 2011 too, which i was surprised to see.

    If LR does come back though, and proves himself which is a big IF given he’s got WPM’s 2mile battalion to compete with, i see Defi going up to the Ryanair. Maybe he’ll run both here, who knows. Also possible LR won’t be good enough!

    I mean dont get me wrong defi has a way better chance in the Ryanair and I’d rather he ran there myself for betting purposes

    Hed be a banker in the Ryanair with that finishing kick

    Could be doing with CPS winning tomorrow my antepost bets are pretty poor this year bar him, hes very very short for a seasonal debut!

    The way robbie power talked about him on road to cheltenham and the general vibes from the Mullins yard suggest they all think he is a monster

    With altior on the wane maybe he will be the next superstar to emerge

    Fingers crossed Ham.

    Tough enough race with my Ryanair hope A Plus Tard in there, along with the very useful Cadmium, who’s win in The Topham was very good. He’s one I’ll be following closely this season as well, but it would be nice to see Chacun return with a big run.

    Sorry but there is little chance of APT running in the Ryanair after today’s performance

    CPS v disappointing; no obvious excuses, seemed to jump pretty well. Proximity of Ordinary World throws doubt on the form.

    What did you think Ham? If I’m being honest, I was disappointed, but not a total disaster.

    Good to see A Plus Tard price to be as good as I thought he could be, and relieved at laying him for The Ryanair. I’d make him a realistic contender here.

    I’d want to see another run before writing chacun off

    He got to the front with a fantastic jump 3 or 4 out which was probably soon enough off such a long lay off in a grade 1

    I think Mullins probably left something to work with CPS – won on f.t.o last season but improved significantly for that.
    Yesterday met a good horse with more stamina who finished the stronger.

    I haven’t changed my opinion that CPS wins this

    Trainer of A Plus Tard said that in his head he was going for the Ryanair.
    Would get an entry in this in case it becomes bottomless.
    I agree with him i fancy him more for the Ryanair than this atm.

    Altior will go for his third win here. No entry for the RyanAir of Gold Cup.

    I hope Altior wins. I am not convinced Henderson ever really wanted to step up in distance with him. Once he was beaten at Ascot and it was clear the King George was off the agenda, there was really no point in going anywhere other than here.

    This could be the race of the festival if Altior gets here fit , personally I think defi would win as he,d have to much speed ….hopefully they,ll be head to head at the last
