Ryanair Chase Form Trends
As well as the races noted above, the previous years Ryanair has proved a good guide for the upcoming season with 2005 runner-up Fondmort going one better in 2006 and Our Vic repeating that feat in 2008 after finishing runner-up in 2007.
Ryanair Chase Form Tips
The Ryanair has more than justified its inclusion at the Festival with some great races in its five year history.
Imperial Commander would be hard to beat if coming back to defend his crown but it could be that his trainer will be swayed by other alternatives.
Voy Por Ustedes has rarely jumped so poorly as when finishing runner-up to Imperial Commander in 2009 and it would be no surprise to see him match the performances of Fondmort and Our Vic and come back and win this race after previously finishing runner-up.
Also, keep an eye out for the intended target of Barbers Shop.
Runner up in the 2009 Paddy Power and the 2008 Jewson, this horse seems very well suited by course and distance and he could be Voy Por Ustedes' strongest challenger if connections decide to go this way.
