With two days accomplished on the Cheltenham Pageant, Matt Chapman and Paddy Brennan flip their consideration to Thursday’s card on the newest episode of Unbridled.
The duo hung out scrutinising the sphere assembled for the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase, which options final yr’s winner Reality To File after connections declined the chance to complement him for the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Banbridge, Coronary heart Wooden and Impaire Et Passe are additionally in direction of the pinnacle of the market, alongside the uber-consistent Jonbon.
Paddy Brennan…
“Reality To File is the most important certainty of the week, I feel. He is in a special league. Reality To File is rock stable right here and Mark Walsh is on the board for the week.
“I can’t answer the reasons why [he has ran some bad races] but you’ve seen him in the Ryanair last year, when you have that class in a race like this, I know Banbridge is there but…”
Matt Chapman…
“I think Banbridge is a good each-way bet. He placed in the King George, he’s won at the track before – a Grade 2 novice back in the day. He was second in the Ryanair and I don’t know… I just think he’s a great each-way bet.”
Afterwards, the pair moved on to the Pertemps Community Ultimate Handicap Hurdle, with Matt Chapman naming a robust fancy for this premier handicap over three miles.
Matt Chapman…
“I think I’ve found another Johnnywho. My selection is 10 years old, however he’s been trained by Laura Morgan recently and he’s been absolutely awful. He’s now back with Nicky Henderson, as he was before – the horse is called Bold Endeavour. He finished third the other day on his first run back and whilst of course age is not on his side, he’s rated 130 now.
“He was fourth to Monmiral on this race two years in the past off 144 – 14lbs increased. He was fifth to Langer Dan within the Coral Cup when rated 140, he has a racing weight of 10st6 and his Cheltenham kind reads 5-2-2-4 so in large handicaps at Cheltenham, he is bang within the combine. I feel he is bought an unbelievable each-way likelihood.”
Paddy Brennan…
“Harry [Skelton] was very candy on Madara however with Supremely West – he was simply so assured on him. When James Davies rode him in work round Warwick, he simply could not pull him up. I feel he’ll be actually exhausting to beat on this.”
