Ruby Walsh’s Ryanair Chase Antepost Suggestions:
Truth To File
Jungle Boogie (every means)
Paddy Energy Media’s ‘From The Horse’s Mouth’ podcast ‘Cheltenham Countdown’ is again as host Tom Nugent picks the brains of the Cheltenham Competition’s winning-most jockey turned TV pundit Ruby Walsh and well-known journalist and broadcaster Rory Delargy.
On the primary of this 12 months’s collection, the gang have regarded on the Ryanair Chase forward of the 2025 Cheltenham Competition.
RUBY WALSH
No matter means you checked out it pre-season, Galopin Des Champs was going to Leopardstown at Christmas, the Dublin Racing Competition (DRF) subsequent month and the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March. For Truth To File, quite a bit trusted how he received on this season as to the place he runs on the Cheltenham Competition.
I count on him to run on the Dublin Racing Competition subsequent month and that can decide what race he leads to, come March. If Galopin Des Champs beats him once more comprehensively in February, I can see Truth To File heading for the Ryanair Chase.
He’s already taken on Galopin Des Champs twice and misplaced each instances, so what would make you assume he can beat him at Cheltenham?
Truth To File isn’t prepared mentally to be a Gold Cup horse.
He doesn’t race like a long-distance chaser as we noticed within the Savills Chase at Leopardstown. He doesn’t settle and swap off, he was too tense. He didn’t bounce in addition to he can.
If Truth To File wins on the Dublin Racing Competition, he’ll go for the Gold Cup at Cheltenham. If he finishes a strong second, he’ll nonetheless want a legitimate excuse as to why he was overwhelmed, in any other case he’ll be off to the Ryanair Chase.
If he’s solely a size again at Leopardstown subsequent month, then you could possibly make an argument for sending him to the Gold Cup.
There’s the query of how do you trip him as effectively? You both go ahead otherwise you maintain him again. Will he go ahead and attempt to take Galopin Des Champs with him? Or do you return to the again of the sphere and go away Galopin Des Champs in entrance? That’ll be as much as JP McManus, jockey Mark Walsh and their workforce as to what they resolve to do.
Ryanair Contenders
For El Fabiolo, the goal shall be to get him to the DRF then go from there. I’m not sure he’ll get there although because it may come too quickly for him. With no run, I wouldn’t count on Willie Mullins to ship him over.
Cheltenham is the goal for Gaelic Warrior and he could have stepped ahead from his run at Christmas. If he wins over two miles on the DRF, I count on him to finish up within the Champion Chase.
Jonbon and Energumene are set to face-off on Saturday within the Clarence Home Chase at Ascot, however no matter of Willie Mullins’ wins at two miles on the DRF will go to the Champion Chase.
The King George VI Chase runner-up Il Est Francais is also of curiosity and he’s close to the highest of the ante-post market. I’d come again to 2 miles with him and the Champion Chase could possibly be a sensible goal as there isn’t an out-and-out frontrunner in there. That race may swimsuit him finest, nevertheless it’s attainable he heads to the Ryanair Chase as an alternative.
If I used to be backing something now ante-post I’d aspect with Truth To File. I don’t see his value getting a lot greater after the Dublin Racing Competition so I’d probability him now.
One at an even bigger value to control is the lightly-raced Jungle Boogie, particularly as he’ll be going left handed once more and may run a giant race.
His Gold Cup run final 12 months was fabulous (completed sixth) and he wasn’t suited by Ascot in December, however he nonetheless gained.
