Voy Por Ustedes is the new 3-1 favourite (from 4-1 joint-favourite) with Stan James for the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in March. On Friday, the former joint-favourite Noland was ruled out for the season with an injury by trainer Paul Nicholls.

With the absence of the former Supreme Novices’ Hurdle winner, Tidal Bay has also been shortened to 7-2 (from 4) and with the most significant mover being Massini’s Maguire at 14 (from 25).

Laura Stephens of Stan James commented: “It is a huge shame that Noland has been ruled out for the season with a recurrence of his former leg injury. The Ryanair has always looked very competitive and despite Noland’s absence it still looks a hot race. Prior to the news regarding Noland we had quite a bit of support for Massini’s Maguire this morning.”
