Voy Por Ustedes a Saviour for the Punters

Chris Kisby - 12 Mar 2009

Voy Por Ustedes is seen for many as the value banker of the Cheltenham Festival in today's Ryanair Chase. Although he may not be regarded as a definate certainty like Master Minded, he is a near one as everything points in his favour for the race, and he is an attractive price at 11/10 with Hills.

He has major proven form at Cheltenham following outstanding wins in 2006 and 2007, in the Arkle Chase and Queen Mother Champion Chase respectively. Speaking last week, jockey Robert 'Choc' Thornton spoke of his sheer admiration for the horse, who could go down in history as a Cheltenham great if he completes a hat-trick of illustrious victories.

He no longer possesses the outright speed of Master Minded as shown last year, but as Thornton described, Voy Por 'Has the neccessary gears for Cheltenham'. The extended trip suits him perfectly now, and as Thornton also said, he is 'granite tough'.
