Ryanair Chase Tips

14:50 Cheltenham
Envoi Allen Silk 5
  • Age:10
  • Weight:11-10
  • Form:1714-32
  • OR:164
The Ryanair Chase is run over the intermediate trip of 2M 4 1/2F and has an open enough look about it this year. The ground appears to have scuppered the chances of Banbridge who was pulled out on the morning of the Turners last year when the ground turned soft. Last year’s winner Envoi Allen has to be in the shake up and although he’s now ten years old remains in top form, and he must go close. Last year’s Turners winner Stage Star has a good record at the track although has to put a poor effort on New Year’s Day in a handicap behind him when pulling up. The best outsider may be Richard Hobson’s Fugitif who prepped for this over too short a trip at Newbury when third to Elixir De Nutz and Jonbon. Bar the rank outsider Fil Dor there is actually only 10lb between the whole field. Trainer Henry De Bromhead is already on the scoresheet for the meeting and can back up last year’s success in this race with the smart Envoi Allen and Rachael Blackmore.

Ryanair Chase Racecard

Ryanair Chase (Grade 1) (Registered As The Festival Trophy) (GBB Race)

2M 4F (Class 1) (5YO plus) (£218,398)
-
11 runners
-
3 Places
Going: Soft

Banbridge has been very popular for this contest since making a triumphant return to action in the Silviniaco Conti at Kempton when fending off subsequent Ascot Chase hero Pic D'Orhy. Unfortunately for connections, the weather hasn't been in his favour and it has to be a major concern whether he even takes his chance on account of testing ground. The conditions would also be a worry for last year's Turners winner Stage Star, who added the Paddy Power Gold Cup to his CV in November, as his latest effort saw him pulled up over C&D on heavy. That seems to pave the way for ENVOI ALLEN to gain a fourth success at the meeting. He travelled supremely well when landing this prize 12 months ago and was as good as ever when just denied by Gerri Colombe at Down Royal in November. Confidence within the camp appears to be high and the 10-year-old gets the vote to enhance his excellent Festival record. Fil Dor doesn't have many miles on the clock over fences and is an interesting contender stepping up in trip following his efforts behind Dinoblue and El Fabiolo, while the going shouldn't be a concern for Cotswold Chase scorer Capodanno.

Ryanair Chase Overview

The Ryanair Chase is a Grade 1 race open to horses aged five years or older run over 2 miles, 4 furlongs, and 127 yards of the new course. The race is run on day three of the Festival as the feature race, normally as the third race on the card. There are seventeen fences to negotiate during the running and the prize money to the winner is likely to be around £211,000.

The race gives top-class chasers the option of an intermediate trip between the Champion Chase (2 miles) and the Cheltenham Gold Cup (3 miles 2 furlongs). The winner is sometimes next seen at Aintree.

Ryanair Chase Betting Trends and Statistics

Only run nineteen times, Willie Mullins is the leading trainer having won the race five times.
Ruby Walsh has won four renewals in that time span and is the leading jockey.

Ireland has won seven renewals of the nineteen although all of those have come in the last eight years.

Two horses have won back-to-back Ryanair Chases, they are Albertas Run (2010 & 2011) and Allaho (2021 & 2022).

Ryanair Chase History

The Ryanair Chase was one of several new races brought in at the Festival when a fourth day was introduced in 2005. There had been a similar event run at the Festival prior to this year called the Cathcart Challenge Cup although that was restricted to just first and second-season chasers only.

Some smart chasers have taken the event notably, Cue Card (2013), Vautour (2016), Un De Sceaux (2017) as well as the aforementioned dual winners Albertas Run (2010, 2011) and Allaho (2021, 2022).
