FormscanBy Alan Magee - DON COSSACK can provide Ryanair supremo Michael O’Leary with a first success in his own race. The eight-year-old gelding has always been held in the highest regard by Gordon Elliott and is really fulfilling that view this term. The use of positive tactics appear to suit him well, and the selection is now on a five-timer following a string of impressive performances including in the Grade 1 John Durkan Memorial Chase at Punchestown in December. This has been the target for some time, although he does have to overcome last year’s runner-up Hidden Cyclone after connections decided to opt for this instead of the Champion Chase. An Irish-trained horse has yet to win the Ryanair Chase in the ten-year history of the 2m5f event but the challenge appears stronger than ever this time with Hennessy Gold Cup runner-up Foxrock added to the party at a supplementary cost of 15,000. For the home team, Johns Spirit ticks a lot of boxes with three course wins and only just failed to take the Paddy Power Gold Cup for the second time under top-weight last November.
