Ryanair favourite runs on Sunday

The Paul Nolan trained Noble Prince, winner at last year's Cheltenham Festival, continues on his route to the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham when facing four rivals in the Grade 2 Normans Grove Chase at Fairyhouse on Sunday. Nolan reported "we were very pleased with him at Leopardstown - Big Zeb beat us easily in the end but it was a very good run from our horse and I think that he will improve with a faster pace. "He's still a decent enough two-mile chaser but two miles and five furlongs around Cheltenham is right up his street. "He travelled and jumped well in the Jewson last season. The Ryanair will obviously be a different gravy this time and it looks like it will be a very competitive contest." Noble Prince faces Tranquil Sea, Galway Plate winner Blazing Tempo, Saludos and Psycho.
