2024 Ryanair Chase preview
Cheltenham... Only Bettor Episode Eight
The eighth week of the Cheltenham... Only Bettor Podcast saw the show welcome its second guest of 2024 as Dave Ord from Sporting Life joined the team.
As ever, Natalie Green, Daryl Carter and Kevin Blake made up the rest of the panel to go through the last seven days in National Hunt racing and preview this year's Ryanair Chase.
The highlight of the show saw Kevin Blake add another selection to his Cheltenham Festival 2024 antepost portfolio, seeking out Caldwell Potter at 12/113.00 for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle.
The week that was
Week eight of the podcast saw the four contributors split the Novice Hurdle, Novice Chase, Juvenile Hurdle and Bumper divisions up separately and look at the performances that affected these markets.
Daryl Carter singled out Grey Dawning as his performance of the week and is firmly behind the likeable grey to go well in the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase at this year's Festival.
Kevin Blake stayed closer to home with Banbridge and gave us exclusive insight into what was next for the Joseph O'Brien trained chaser.
Dave Ord was blown away by the performance of Mystical Power in the Grade 2 Moscow Flyer Novices' Hurdle and believes he will be most effective at the minimum trip in the Supreme.
Ryanair Chase preview
This week saw the Ryanair Chase as the contest under scrutiny ahead of the 2024 meeting where Kevin gave us the full round up on Banbridge who is now the 5/16.00 second favourite.
Daryl was happy with his position with Envoi Allen, having tipped him on week one of the show at 14/115.00. He is now 6/17.00 on the Betfair Sportsbook.
The team were in agreement that the favourite Allaho may not be the force of old and could be opposable in this year's event, but more context will be shown when he runs at Thurles on Sunday.
