Which race will that be ?

They think it has to go left handed.
Report acey deucy • November 19, 2023 1:56 PM GMT
Ryanair innit.

Nothing unusual about it though acey. I put up a thread a few weeks ago for anyone doing the Ten To Follow or similar after reading about stats of the top races at the Festival and being surprised how many winners had only a couple of runs prior, had not noticed until reading in the RP.

If it has to be left-handed, then one of the 2 1/2 m handicaps at Cheltenham on NYD of trials day. Otherwise, the Silvianaco Conti chase at Kempton in Jan.

Thanks stront, the kempton race looks the most likely.
Report saxon farm • November 19, 2023 2:14 PM GMT
Is Kempton now left handed?

:D

It does leave them with a dilemma. The conditions races over the trip in the suitable time window all seem to be on right-handed tracks. Nicholls has used those Grade 3 Cheltenham handicaps before to prep his Ryanair horses - Poquelin springs to mind, though that will have been some time ago. Still, Stage Star is so good going from the front on the New Course, they may well go down that route.

Yes, could be.

A lot will depend on how he recovers from yesterday. Paul did not rule out a spin over 3 miles before the Ryanair.
Report differentdrum • November 19, 2023 7:09 PM GMT
There's a fair chance he won't run at all. He already has a history of running well fresh, but not finishing his season off. Very few horses have the constitution to go from the front in competitive races time and time again.

Why is it an absolute joke?
Report sageform • November 20, 2023 8:16 AM GMT
I can only assume that acey thinks that horses should run at least once a month and preferably more often and that talk about horse welfare is a poor excuse for not doing so.

planning a season around beating allaho amongst others  in ryanair seems like a decent plan

He could hardly have had a bigger boost than the December race when Fugitiv beat Il Ridoto. Easy to rate Stage Star at 170 now which would win most Ryanairs but the official handicapper has 166.

He does look a bit of a Good Thing sage.
