The Ryanair Chase is the leading race for horses over the intermediate trip at the Cheltenham Festival.

Allaho won the last two renewals in blistering fashion to confirm his status as one of the best horses in training and Willie Mullins’ stable star is likely to bid for a record-breaking third victory in the Grade 1.

Ryanair Chase 2023 betting

Ryanair Chase odds are on paddypower.com and prices for the leading contenders can be seen on our snazzy widgets below.

Allaho is the favourite with Paddy Power ahead of his crack at a third successive Ryanair Chase, although the nine-year-old could head to Cheltenham without a prep run due to a training setback.

Stablemate Blue Lord is next in our early betting and proved his class over the extended 2m4f trip by landing the Clonmel Oil Chase on seasonal reappearance in November.

Dual Cheltenham Festival winner Shishkin is also prominent in our antepost market with trainer Nicky Henderson planning to step the gelding up in trip after a disappointing showing in the Tingle Creek.
