2022 Champion Bumper

[Kevloaf]

He's 100/1 NRNB with Bet365 now... bit of a random move, he didn't even run this weekend.

The Big Doyen, Grievei, Glowing Account, Model Kingdom, Champ Kiely, Nikini, The Mediator, Itswhatunitesus also all 100/1.

Champ Kiely, auto-bet.
Dancing City, auto-bet.

Will work my way through the rest.

Interesting to note today's bumper at Navan.
Madmansgame a 250k Ptp purchase made a nice start under rules for Willie, Patrick sat on him late and only really got going in final furlong as Landrake came to him. Willie said he will probably go to Cheltenham, but will make up into a tidy chaser in time. By Blue Bresil (Sire of Blue Lord, Royal Pagaille), looked a nice big horse who may grab a place at Cheltenham. Also useful to note for Facile Vega fans is that Landrake was 19L behind FV at Lep last time out, so is a tidy form boost running so well here.

Dancing City entered again for this weekend, still chance he comes here if he goes in. 150/1 bet365 without NRNB surely worth a couple of quid e/w.

Same bumper ferny hollow won on route to Cheltenham.

The 100/1 NRNB BOG with them is more preferable IMO.

Uncle Phil for the same connections, entered in the same race is only 20/1 NRNB.

Few others of interest in the race at Naas on Sunday too.

Sandor Clegane, Music Drive (Redemption Day formline), Kansas City Star

I have completed the 10-year Assessment of the CHAMPION BUMPER and the RPR's that the Winners and placed horses had achieved prior to their Festival runs, and compared that with this seasons crop.

Entries aren't until Tuesday, but i have checked around 40 ratings via the betting market and various ratings info to confirm my answers

4 year olds get an 8lb allowance, and there is one 4yo who is rated good enough to win the Champion Bumper after one run, once the 8lb allowance is added on.

So beware FV and Mike, there's one horse who could be shoulder to shoulder coming into the straight, based on ratings (if hes entered for the race on Tuesday).

What Path running tomorrow at Fairyhouse (in the bumper previously won by Ferny Hollow) might be worth a look, certainly in the right colours when looking at this race. Think you can get 25s NRNB.

I thought Kansas City Star looked interesting in that race
Bolted up in a point
Don’t remember Bryan Drew having a runner for an Irish trainer before

KCS will be a tough nut to crack tomorrow.

Willie said on his blog he’s worried about the heavy ground for him 2moro

Interesting bumper today at Naas with Redemption Day and Facile Vega form lines on show, could be worth backing Redemption Day in the case that Music Drive wins as he could shorten for the champion bumper.

I think you'd be able to see her win and still get a price on Redemption Day rather than need to chance it beforehand.

Yeah, just thought that he may potentially shorten should Music Drive win. Could play a form related role up and have her win today and Redemption Day in the champion bumper.

Yeh I think he would if she won, a good idea for the related double if you do fancy her today.

Difficult to be confident about anything at the moment, but I will be very surprised if Sandor Clegane doesn't take this with the minimum of fuss. Barry O'Neill should know what to expect from the second favourite.

As for Redemption Day who knows whether he is anything more than a bridle horse? It was as if Mullins was at pains to do no more than hold him together on debut. American Mike has been very similar. You know that Facile Vega can travel on the bridle, and find plenty off it.
