Al Ferof Ryanair Chase 10/1 BetVictor NRFB

Going going gone.

Coulda left Chelt after em today imo

Looked pretty poor to me

Probably right he was poor today, am most likely pocket talking got a 20/1 ryanair ante post ticket and just topped up with the 10/1 if I get a run I'll be happy. If the real Al Ferof turns up surely he must at worst get a place.

Is Cue Card definately going to the Gold Cup, he would be a shoe in here surely?

Cue card got go gold cup surely.

His victory in the best supreme we have seen apart, I can not see what piece of form entitles him to have a chance in any race at the festival to be honest.

Wouldn't worry about today at all. Bottomless ground and an unsuitable trip. I'm convinced he's not a 3 mile horse.

I think his optimum is 2m5f but he may have the class to win at 3m, i dont think he would truly stay in a proper gold cup, but then again i thought this about kauto star.

I just checked his price for GC, was expecting 21 ish, so 30 is very big imo.

Silvio is 4.8, AF is 30, 14 lengths and his best course to come.....

You can seriously compare Al Ferof with Kauto Star???

where did i do that ?

I said that i thought KS was not a stayer.


ffs

brandy thinks he should be in a paddock in shropshire

Al Ferof taken out of the Gold cup this morning

got a link bjg?

Nicholls said: "I took him out of the Gold Cup and the Ryanair looks made for him, although there's the option of the Champion Chase if it's very soft."

cheers bjg

Easily right choice by nicholls. Ryanair looks low on qulity this year to.

Really?  - First Lieutenant likely here now too

AL Ferof, First Lieutenant, Beneficcient, Dynaste, Sizing Europe and an outside chance of Cue Card

Lookin a lot better than it did 2/3 weeks back imo

yep i think so bjg,of the likely runners i dont think many of them are really exciting. And a few have questions to answer in one way or another.

Cue card is gold cup surely?
Sizing Europe at his best would be awesome but thats a big if.
Dynaste would make it a lot more stronger but he has had a troubled year and might not be at his best even if he turns up. Even Al ferof has to put two dissapointing efforts behind him.

FL and Benefficient set the bar and are very good horses but wouldnt say they are world beaters.

i shouldnt really be complaining cos they obvioulsy have this race for ones that arent good enough for gold cup or QM so quality will generally be lower.

Don't rule out Wishfull Thinking.
