This power-house 8 year-old had been touted as a Cheltenham Gold Cup contender after last year’s Festival win, but staying that longer trip was the question mark.

Connections have, therefore, preferred to keep Allaho @ 8/13 with Fitzdares over the Ryanair trip of 2m4f and since that decision has been confirmed he’s been all the rage in the Ryanair Chase betting market.

If is able to win the 2022 Ryanair Chase he’ll become the first back-to-back winner since Albertas Run did the double in 2010 and 2011.

So, does the current Ryanair Chase champion Allaho – tick the main Ryanair Chase trends this year, or is there any stats evidence he might be worth taking on?

Like most races at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival, there are many key trends and stats to take into each contest.

A Clean Sweep Of Trends For Allaho

Last year’s Ryanair Chase winner – Allaho @ 8/13 with Fitzdares – will have the bookies running for cover as one of the main Cheltenham Festival bankers of the meeting – and it’s easy to see why.

The 8 year-old gets a clean sweep from our six main Ryanair trends, that include age, track and Festival form, being French-bred and coming from the top three in the betting.

Add in that he’s arguably improved again this season having beaten two of his main rivals – Janidil and Fakir D’oudairies at Punchestown and Thurles.

He’s now won five of his 10 starts over fences and only been out of the first three twice in those chase starts – they came on really heavy ground and over 3m!

Overall, there is sure to be plenty of layers looking to take him on at the short price, but with minimal chinks in his armour there will be many more punters willing to back Alloha.
