Ascot next weekend then Ryanair

Hope so backed it yesterday at 11/1 with PP, think it's run in the tingle creek was a cracker given he made a bad mistake 3 out.

My one concern would be the ground. Best runs in France were on Very Soft.

I don't care what the record says it weren't good to soft at Sandown, looked very tacky and nasty.

Do think he has a good chance however, just the ground would put me off a shade. For me the Albertus Run will take the world of beating and is arguably the best EW bet for the last 2 years. 14's with sporting bet is unreal value.

Loves the course, will love the ground (assuming it run as ussual), has the beating of everything in last years race as well.

Without a doubt the EW bet of the festival imo... And I'm not even a fan of EW betting.

i backed it e.way for the champion ,looks like hewill go for the ryanair ...luckily with lads nrnbet.

I think he's a decent bet for the Ryanair & he could be a serious option for the King George next year. You have to take the ground into account but he has not had a chance running in France to prove himself on better ground. You could also say that is factored into his current price.

If he were mine no question I would go for QM.  A way behind SE at Sandown but so was BZ and not much depth for me.  Nicholls doesn't have another obvious contender though they are talking about Hold Fast who should surely go for the Grand Annual

Ryanair all the way, cracking value as well
