  • Rubi Light set for run at Gowran before Ryanair Chase
    Rubi Light is set for a run out at the Gowran in February before heading into action at the Cheltenham Festival in March. The two-and-a-half mile contest is seen as a perfect test for the seven-year-old who will be looking to build on a third place finish at the Ryanair Chase in 2011. Prior to this impressive performance, the Robbie Hennessy trained horse secured victory...

  • Paul Nolan Noble Prince will improve for Ryanair Chase
    Trainer Paul Nolan has admitted he was disappointed with Noble Prince’s most recent display, but is convinced that the horse will be more than ready for the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham in March. The eight-year-old lost out to Blazing Tempo at the Normans Grove Chase on Sunday and instead of brush off the defeat, Nolan admitted it was a slight concern, but is hopeful...

  • Cheltenham hopeful Rubi Light will bypass the Irish Hennessy
    Cheltenham entry Rubi Light will bypass the Irish Hennessy and instead aim for back to back wins at the Red Mills Chase at Gowran next month. The hugely talented seven-year-old stepped up to three miles in the Lexus Chase in December, coming home in second place behind the impressive Synchronised, but will instead drop down to the two miles four furlong race at Gowran...

  • Ryanair Chase Tips Free Bets
    Turn the clock back 12 months and you will recall that it was four fences from home when Voy Por Ustedes, the odds-on favourite, blundered his chance away, and, while this is a relatively new race, it is uncanny how this is almost always the point when things take shape.

  • Tranquil Sea impresses at Leopardstown
    Tranquil Sea boosted his claims for the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham with a tremendous victory in the Newlands Chase at Leopardstown. Edward O’Grady’s eight-year-old led after the second-last and pulled clear on the run-in thanks to a good jump at the final fence. The 4/6 favourite was driven out by Andrew McNamara to hold Natal by two and a half lengths with...

  • Ryanair Chase – Planet of Sound a problem
    Tranquil Sea was due to have his final prep race at Naas on Sunday which was abandoned so it will be interesting to see if they try and squeeze another run into him. Planet Of Sound had a far from ideal prep when taking a crashing fall early on in the Ascot Chase and I know from my stats just how hard it is to win at the Festival directly off the back of a fall. That...

  • Ryanair Chase betting Voy Por Ustedes disappoints
    There was no disguising the fact that was a disappointing effort from Voy Por Ustedes in the Game Spirit Chase. To go out without a fight suggested he has lost his enthusiasm and he needs to rediscover his mojo very quickly now to have a chance of even reaching the frame. The really disappointing aspect was that his jumping looked back to his best until he turned for home. The...

  • Ryanair Chase Joncol looking good?
    Joncol and Schindler’s Hunt did their Ryanair Chase chances no harm at all in the Irish Hennessy but just a word of warning though if you think that Joncol’s class and progression can see him through and win a third Grade 1 of the season, his trainer stated afterwards that he is only 50-50 to run here as they have the Guinness Gold Cup at Punchestown also on...
