Looks ominous for the backers 16 to bet 34 for a full £1 to lay then another £1 at 46 gaelic warrior almost halved in price these last few days I believe we only have to wait another week or so to find out the plans.

Markets been screaming Fact To File for Ryanair for a while now. Wouldn't be the first time markets have got it wrong from Mullins yard.

Wouldn’t be an issue if we lost the Ryanair chase

My theory on Fact to File is that he's very much a rhythm horse. If he gets into a good one early doors, then basically he wins. If he did so in the Gold Cup, he wins IMO. I'd have no worries about him not staying the trip. But, according to the exchanges, it looks like he'll be lining up in the Ryanair

Frank Berry stated on @ the races website yesterday a decision wouldnt be made till the last minute i.e supplementary date which i think is Saturday. I wonder if they are waiting to see what ground/going forecast @ supp stage.Assume initially leaning towards Ryanair due to the prospect of really testing ground, however that doesnt look likely to be the case as its currently good to soft on New Course as of today on latest update from clerk. With a predominantly dry week ahead.

I would be mystified if Fact To File did not take his chance in the Gold Cup.

Where's the market on whether there will be any watering before next Tuesday?

Mullins like to split his horses the owner will have to go where he feels that they have the best chance of winning. Everyone is taken by his win last time out, but the formbook shows that he’s lost to Gaelic Warrior in the past. Last time out was a jog round for him with Chelts in mind, he’s never ran well or been at his best in those races in Ireland at that time of year.
One year he just about managed to jump the last fence looking legless and completely different horse was seen after. |

Fact to file reminds me of Quevaga, Annie Power can take the Ryan Air and the prize money with ease, last time out was a confidence boost after a shabby run in the KG.

Jonbon has had enough chances for a festival win, head rules heart in this sport and McManus is a sportsman he’d be happy to see the two take on eachother and if Jonbons good enough on the day and the Jock on top then he’d be happy to see him win regardless of who he’s beating.
He’s had many take on eachother in the Champion Hurdle over the years, My Tent, Beauvoir etc …. |

marine nation out of ch ch surely hendo will have another go at it with jonbon

By:
Oh dear there will be others over the next few days still it’s a shame.
|
|
By:
Hopefully Jonbon's connections don't get swayed by M Nationale's withdrawal and stick to trips beyond 2 miles.
Hopefully they skip Cheltenham altogether to be honest. Definitely not his favourite track and he's given connections so much already this season. |
|
By:
The desire for a Festival win is blinding them to what is best for the horse.
|
|
By:
They might be swayed and then it also means that the other one has no reason not to go Ryan Air, but JP is a sportsman and what’s best for each individual horse should occur.
He’s already been thumped by Lord Du Skud so one withdrawal is akin to one Swallow … |
|
By:
Either way he faces another horse by the owner so what’s right for him should be the call, I don’t see any of them ducking eachother, the guys a Sportsman.
|

By:
Bonjon only to be left in as a precaution, so all lights green for an easy race in the Ryan Air?!

ryanair the most suitable race for FTF but of course shouldn't have the choice

Well there we have it NO SUPP

But, Gaelic Warrior could deputise if he's a no show. A bizarre and somewhat pathetic behaviour by connections.

Even more than some other defections over the last few years (e.g Lossiemouth in her absolute prime) nothing sums up how appalling the extension of the festival has become. This is horse that has won the (old) RSA and hosed up in the Irish Gold Cup. Beating the present GC favourite and a 2-time GC winner. Much as I admire JP, he is surely not that desperate for Cheltenham winner is he? Golly, he has loads of favourites as it is. Not like, perhaps. Ricci last year whose plethora of good horses had somewhat dried up. You can understand, perhaps, why he might want a Mares Hurdle. But what satisfaction can it possibly give JP/WM to see FtF canter round to another Ryanair? A really dreadful decision. Your analogy with Celtic Swing is apt Jimnast, but at least Saville had the temptation of an increased sire's fee if he won the (easier) French Derby. And, rich though he was, JP has more lost down the sofa than PS did. A shocking. shocking decision. I speak with zero financial interest in either the Ryan or GC.
