Quite a few questionable entries but remember Mickos Dream, A Thyestes chase winner for WPM that came in to his own when dropped in trip to 2 miles.
Not to mention One Man.
Yorkhill without a doubt would be best suited to the Ryanair going by what Mullins is saying
I would not be surprised if he missed the festival if Douvan and UDS make it and waits for the 120k Melling Chase.
I can't have him going for the QMCC or the Champion Hurdle he'd get way too geed up and be taken out of his comfort zone which he depends so much on
2 1/2 miles is perfect for him until he settles down
Formely Fist of Fury
It is, but I don't think the owners of UDS will be too happy about a Ryanair bid.
Surely makes no sense to save Yorkhill for Aintree where he's clearly nowhere near as good going right handed, despite what WPM has recently come out with.

Come on Yorkie lad.
All comers, all grounds, all beaten!
This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.
Surely not fast enough.
All the Yorkie fans now convinced he is a Queen Mother winner, after thinking he was a Gold Cup winner three weeks ago?
Big swing that!

i never felt he'd make a gold cup type
i think 2m is more realistic and will be interesting to watch but still throws up question marks
the best answer is usually the simplest. he's looked fine at 2 and a half so not sure why they don't stick with that
one thing from this seems clear. it's almost certain for me we won't see douvan again this season or not before punchy at least.
Ryanair has got to be his race surely. Won over 2m 5 the last two festivals and UDS is massively vulnerable.
