Albertas to face 16 in Ryanair Albertas Run faces a maximum of 16 rivals as he bids to win the Ryanair Chase for the third successive season at Cheltenham on Thursday. Jonjo O'Neill's charge has been sidelined since sustaining an injury when winning at Aintree in the autumn but the trainer issued an upbeat bulletin over him last week. Captain Chris and Noble Prince were other Festival winners last year who could line up while Forpadydeplasterer, Kalahari King, Poquelin and Somersby are Cheltenham regulars. Rubi Light is a leading fancy from Ireland and Great Endeavour, Kauto Stone, Little Josh, Medermit, Realt Dubh, Riverside Theatre, Roi du Mee, Tartak and Blazing Tempo complete the field.
