Ryanair Chase Betting Tips 2023 – Thursday 16th March 2.50pm
The Ryanair Chase comes on Day 3 of the Cheltenham Festival and it is a Grade 1 contest over 2m4f ran on the New Course. Is Shishkin the banker of the week?
We have seen some great winners in recent times including the fan favourite Un De Sceaux jumping like a stag on his way to victory in 2017 to the emotional scenes in 2019 when Frodon went on to win under Bryony Frost.
This race has been won by some wonderful horses in recent seasons including Cue Card, the late Vautour and Alberta’s Run. The likes of Frodon, Min and A Plus Tard all lined up in the 2020 renewal which was won by Min.

Ryanair Chase Tips 2023
As mentioned when asked whether Shishkin would win at Cheltenham, I would be amazed if Shishkin doesn’t win the Ryanair if he’s anywhere near his form from his last outing in the Ascot Chase. The race lacks any other real, consistent quality and you could even make a case for him being shorter because he would 100% be shorter if we knew the ‘old’ Shishkin would show up.
Obviously, there will be small doubts in people’s minds following his 2 previous starts before that win at Ascot but those doubts are not in my head. Shishkin is banker material and I wouldn’t advise anything to take him on with. He just wins.
