2022 Champion Bumper

RTV just saying Willie says Embassy Gardens they look at favourable over Facile Vega... and was the one he was most excited about today.

25/1 with 365.

Will take that, seems a better bet than FV - although he has got to win

Done the same, 25s an absolute no brainer after them comments.

Must have been drunk when he watched them both work

Should be good enough to run though

Winner...never in doubt!

[Winging The Last]

I don't think he wanted to win that

[Silverbirch]

Willie talking smack surely

[Wake and Labaik]

Swelling must have come up quick after getting a whip to the nose and winning the photo!

Embassy Gardens a nice stayer ready for the Ballymore next season

Haha, I genuinly thought about that during the race and then laughed at myself for moving towards my mouse as if I was going to look for a price.

well gordon must have a line on how good american mike is through Santonito now. if the comments about embassy gardens and facile are anything to go by.

I want some of what Willie has been on!

I would be shocked if time didn't prove him right, and Embassy Gardens ends up a better horse than Facile Vega.

Kev's started on the Stella early like me !

I'd probably side with this also. Willie's last 4 winners have been very good.

Plenty on here + twitter are frothing over Facile Vega because he was name-checked and they got on/followed the gamble.

Performance-wise Facile on the eye was better, but someone mentioned superstar in the making....relax!

American Mike's to lose anyway.

Embassy Gardens very green and had to beat a slightly more experienced rival there. I say it a lot but I like to see horses have a battle pre-festival so you know what they’ll be like in a fight. He stuck his neck out well but he’ll need to improve a lot to trouble AM.

With Pink in the Park and The Last Doyen around 10s or higher and the two big stables have unleashed potential monsters, surely it is American Mike and Facile Vega's to lose? While we never know how certain horses will perform at Cheltenham, the odds of both failing there seem very unlikely.

I know many here want to have a book for each race, but even so, is this race now fairly certain? There's been no word of any other potentials lurking out there, and nothing in the market either. 3s and 4s for the big 2 beginning to look some value.
