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 part of his game has been a problem as a bad mistake cost him the Amlin Chase back in November and a poor first-fence jump shuffled him back to rear in last season’s Arkle Trophy so it was always an uphill task from then.

As such, I really can’t him for the Ryanair. Monet’s Garden won the race for the second time but looks like waiting for the Melling Chase at Aintree but the runner-up Albertas Run looks like taking his chance but if he couldn’t beat a near a 12-year-old I can’t really have him on my mind here.

Paul Nolan confirmed that Joncol definitely doesn’t travel which was no great surprise and he will wait for Punchestown.
