Cheltenham Bumper 2019

[Istabraq]

No-one else picked up on Gordon saying that David Pipe liked his?

What price was Moon Racer 10 days before his win?

Think a few have said Pipe is keen on his, and for this to be raised at Irish preview evenings they must respect Pipes horse/Pipes view...

82 pages on the bumper and I still haven’t a firm fancy. Have backed the a Pipe horse just to have an interest.

[Trickytrickster]

ask for glory with course form on soft and improvement to come only his second run. price seems too big, is he an intended runner ?

Haha good stuff. This is a proper u turn horse this. Was never going to go here, tore up 33/1 after Gordon said no bumper but that's what CPS want so happy days

Ha,I never went to bed with a horse
Woke up with a few though 🙈

Benruben that was 2nd to Jetz in the chase yesterday (and ahead of Duca De Thaix), was the horse than beat Mount Leinster and Meticulous on their first bumper start this season.


Can anyone work out if that's useful form or not

Benruben was unlucky not to win the time before, was on at 33's.
It's tenuous int it.

Can’t believe the mess I’ve made of this race, especially considering the way I started.
After reading OJA, I punted on Malone Road and Envoi Allen, and after their first couple of runs I was sitting pretty. Then Malone Road is ruled out – blow no.1.
Then it’s mooted that Envoi Allen probably won’t go to the festival. As I’m on at big prices I decide to lay it on the exchange and am happy with a guaranteed profit.
Fast forward a few more weeks and I’m reading on here that Gordon Elliott has confirm EA will not be going to the festival (it was around the time everyone was rushing to B365 to cash out bets when those announcements are made). Forgetting I’ve already laid it off, I rush over to B365 and cash out – doh!
Then following last weeks decs all my other bets are non runners – El Barra, Energumene, Larquebuse, Fury Road.
So after throwing 6 darts at the race, I find myself without a runner and the only possible outcome is Envoi Allen wins and I lose money. Lump on him gang, cos he must now be the biggest certainty of the festival!

I wouldn't beat yourself up about it.

If you're told a horse won't run you should cash out if you can.

He didn't say he might not run, he said he won't.

The majority of the time you'd now be sat on a non runner and have lost your stake.


I don't want Envoi Allen to win because if it, but the decision making was right in my opinion ...

I have the option to back him now, I don't think I will .... that may be the first mistake I've made with him.

I was half asleep listening to FFP last night, did Harry mention Ask For Glory?

[Stormez]

Don’t believe he was mentioned no, if he was I was missed it too!

I can’t go back to him now either. As things stand this will be the only race of the week I won’t have an antepost bet riding on it.
It’s quite liberating in a way and means I can look at the Racing Post on the Wednesday with no preconceived biases!
Who am I kidding, I’m not even convincing myself that it’s an advantage

....Barnes des Mottes a strange one in this. No noticeable form that I can see, although won it’s only start, yet a big disparity in price with likes of PP only going 16-1 nrnb.

I backed the JoB favourite (Front View) in that race - was brought down in a bit of carnage on the home bend. Seemed to be going as well as the winner when it came down but too far out to tell much. BdM did put the race to bed in decent style but not sure what it beat.
