Ryanair For Cloy Hi Cloy has been confirmed on course for the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham on March 15 after finishing a distant third at Leopardstown on Saturday.Michael Hourigan's 10-year-old, a four-time Grade One winner, faded out of contention as stablemate Beef Or Salmon overhauled The Listener to land his third Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup.His County Limerick-based handler was satisfied with the performance, however, and hopes his charge will show his true colours on less testing ground at the Festival.'Hi Cloy pulled out fine this morning and he'll now go for the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham,' he explained.'I was happy enough with his run yesterday. He just didn't stay but he'd probably get the trip in slightly lesser company and on better ground.'Hi Cloy is currently a best-priced 16-1 with Coral and William Hill for the Ryanair, in which he finished sixth behind Fondmort last year.(C) PA Sport
