    Beginning to go against Silviniaco Conti. Serious doubts as to his ability to stay that course and distance in this going. His stride was shortening at Newbury towards the end. No Cheltenham form…

    I also noticed when reviewing his races the other day that his jumping was falling apart at the end at newbury- another sign of tiredness and not a good sign for friday

    No zippy, the winner of this race 7 years ago had not previously performed with credit over 3 miles. He did however get weight from over half of his rivals.

    Irrespective of that historic glitch, I remain convinced that at championship pace the Ryanair is a race for doubtful 3 milers rather than ambitious 2 milers.

    How about Thisthatandtother and Our Vic then?

    Both neither 3 milers at the time, although Thisthatandtother’s class saw him through a few hunters as a pensioner and Our Vic finally grew into some stamina as an older horse.

    I am going to avoid My Tent or Yours, Hurricane Fly, Silviano Conti and Sir Des Champs.

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    I’m definitely backing Silviniaco Conti. Its the Only one left yet to run. The rest have won or ran well. The Fly!?? Thanks! Mine would have been Dynaste, carbon copy of Grand Crus and Capt Conan that one stays less than the son in law.

    Chapoturgeon 4.00,I will gladly lay him at 4/1 to not win.

    If you go to back a certainty always buy a return ticket.

    Four mentioned, three losers who were very prominent in the betting and well tipped up. Pretty happy with that ratio and only one Fly in the ointment.

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    aye, good tipping.

    personally i’m not a layer at heart, (or really I should say i’m not a bookmaker, more of a punter)

    and I think you can see why :D
