Ryanair Chase Betting Preview PT 1

This is always an exciting contest over the middle distances at Cheltenham and the 2m4f distance should wind up being a really interesting test of the ability of the challengers lining up to take on this massive race.

A Plus Tard comes into the race as the betting favourite but there is still plenty of room for the ante post market to firm up so he may not wind up going off as the favoured contender on the day at Cheltenham.
You’ll be able to see a great course and distance reference from last year as he disposed of a talented group of 20 contenders to emerge victorious in the Close Brothers Novice Handicap Chase - which is a listed contest at the festival each time around.
The bookmakers have him priced around a 5/2 margin and that should serve him well as he lines up against a few really solid selections who have a lot of ability over this distance of ground. Henry De Bromhead will definitely have him ready for this effort and he’s been unraced since he emerged as the victor in an effort at Leopardstown on December 27th.
There is every chance that he is poised for a serious effort here and the punters should be backing him if he makes a really nice pre-race appearance for this major contest.
Min comes into the contest in Rich Ricci’s colours and after having been beaten up by Altior in the past two Queen Mother Champion Chase efforts they are likely making a good move by placing Min in this race which looks to be a lot more suited to his abilities.
