Just watched it - very impressive, STD never moved on him. Introduced at 14/1 for the Champion Bumper and likely to go there. No reason on breeding to believe he would have to have heavy ground to show his best.

STD said it might come too early for him when asked about Cheltenham but he did say the NTD finds it hard to resist the festival races.

He was really good today.

[Can't Catch Me]

I was really taken with him too. Travelled really powerfully. Not sure the form will amount to much but that’s hardly his fault.

His form from first run had worked out quite well hasn't it?

33-1 Paddy and BSB...

I wouldn’t say ‘well’ tbh Kev. The third subsequently won an egg and spoon race. Worked out Ok but not in the context of talking about him as a Cheltenham horse I wouldn’t say.

Fair enough. Not seem anything today and an unreliable source text me to say "that wins the bumper. Won with a penalty. Great form".

Not had chance to check myself but 1/50 you're more accurate than he is haha

Haha. Doesn't say much for your mate!

Got burned on this race too many times ante post to be confident
A lot of top trainers and owners are of the view that this race is too much for a young horse and can damage their long term prospects
Although JP and Frank Berry run the odd one they tend to avoid it generally if they think they have a good one
They did run Yanworth in it a few years back but you could argue that it was the wrong decision
So I will be avoiding dontleaveuoutto,rhinestone and invincible cave unless nrnb
Hollowgraphic looks a likely runner but have missed the big prices

A broken clock is right at least twice a day would sum him up haha

Sky NRNB now so those 3 are:

Rhinestone 14/1
Didtheyleaveuoutto 7/1
Invincible Cave 16/1

No chances taken there!

Thanks Kevloaf
Don't have a sky account
Looks like the most sensible route though
Cheers

Think i’ll have a look at what Ruby is riding in this race. His mounts generally tend to go off at decent prices and finish there or thereabouts.

Trying to nail the perceived 2nd string then?

Stay Humble
