Cheltenham Bumper 2019

[kinloch brae]

Put everyone away with that.

The possibility of that happening was mentioned at the Scottish preview a couple of nights ago.

[Stormez]

Another one bites the dust! Down to Master Debonair & The Glancing Queen now.

Donnacha rides Meticulous for Joseph!

Great call by whoever it was about 40 pages ago that they’d use a flat jockey on him.

[cpfcpatriot]

Also taken this. Joey to get a flat jockey for the bumper?

Found it. Well played.

I think this is JOB most likely winner. He is a flat trainer at heart imo.

Destined for greatness.


Do the flat jockeys have a decent record in the bumper?

The only thing I can recall is them saying how rough it is... and that's a very general *they* - I don't know who I mean.

Pizzaroo under Jamie Spencer last flat jockey ridden winner (2002).

Rite of Passage third in 2009 under Pat Smullen.

Jospeh 17th in 2013 on 16/1 shot.

Excellent. I said it half in jest but delighted with that booking.

[Kevloaf]

I'm buzzing about Meticulous - feel like this is the best chance I've ever had in the bumper

Master Debonair wins it still

I hope you're right Kev. They are my two and I ain't adding another.

[Kevloaf]

Only 14 - is that the lowest ever?

[Stormez]

In at least 20 years I think.

Only 14 - is that the lowest ever?

Yes I think it’s the lowest ever. Should be an interesting race, I think the smaller field will make this look more predictable than it usually is.
