  • 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.

That...

  • Ryanair Chase betting Voy Por Ustedes disappoints

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...

  • Joncol into 5/1 for Ryanair Chase
    Paul Nolan hopes Joncol can develop into a genuine contender for next year’s Gold Cup after seeing his Cheltenham odds fall following a heroic display at Leopardstown on Sunday. The giant seven-year-old got the better of Cooldine and Schindlers Hunt in a titanic battle for Ireland’s premier chasing prize, the Hennessy Gold Cup, providing both Nolan and jockey...

  • Ryanair Chase
    Something will have to go awry with Voy Por Ustedes for Gwanako to turn around 14 lengths but stranger things have happened and I reckon he will finish closer now he returns to a left-handed track which he prefers and I felt he was given too much to do at Ascot on a pace-favouring track so he makes each-way appeal. Imperial Commander has apparently been working well but...
