2:50 Ryanair Chase

One of our strongest selections of the Festival goes in the Ryanair, where we really like the chances of Road to Respect. He impressed in last years Gold Cup where he looked to the have pace of a real champion, but the trip was clearly too much for him that day, and a step down to this trip looks perfect.

Despite the drying ground today, conditions should still suit him much better than other runs this season, and his style can see him gobble up a quick running field led out by the likes of Monalee and Un de Sceaux. Hailing from an in-form yard is another big plus, and he just looks the quality horse in a very tight heat.

He's currently 4/1, but that won't last in all likelihood here. Couple that with Bet Victors extra place and we have a very strong e/w bet.

If a shock is to come, Coney Island might be the source at 33/1

2pts e/w Road to Respect at 4/1 (Bet Victor 4 places 1/5)

0.5pts e/w Coney Island at 33/1 (General, Bet365 pay 1/4)
