Guily billy?

If he stays in bumpers then he’s worth a bet but I’m still of the opinion he’ll be jumping hurdles this season.

…..given it’s a best price 25-1 for the Bumper, the 22-1 a/r offer (with boost) from Hills could be the way to go (only 14-1 a/r with Sky).

Couple weeks time for the Down Royal meeting and we should be 80% closer to knowing who Elliott will see as his main bumper contender for the season.

Although having said that, with the loss of owners etc do we think he may be keen to get potential bumper horses straight over obstacles that would normally stay in bumpers for a season?

Gordon hasn’t really lost that many owners and he was still purchasing the bulk of top sellers at the sales. I’d expect him to have a good few decent bumper horses to go to war with. It wasn’t just Cheveley horses that he targeted the bumper with, most of his other big owners had runners in the Champion Bumper too.

A very solid and good point.

Any you fancy so far JM?

The two from Gordon’s that I currently like are Au Fleuron and Cool Survivor. Au Fleuron won a PtP bumper during the interrupted season and he looks like he’d be sharp enough to go far in bumpers and not just be filling time before jumping. The only downside is that he’s already won a bumper so could be harder to place. Cool Survivor won a point but again seems pacy enough to do well in bumpers. Gordon also has American Mike who I’ve seen mentioned a bit, but he looks a proper chaser and I’d think he’ll be one that is minded this season if they keep him to bumpers.

Never knew they ran PTP bumpers!

Au Fleuron is one I’m really interested in as well. Jamie Codd gave some very good words about him in JTF. He mentioned he could go either way bumpers or hurdling which is why I’ve been hesitant to pull the trigger yet but being only 4 I can see him being kept in bumpers this year. The morans don’t really have bumper horses (only one I can remember is queens Brook) but they normally purchase staying chasers, and AF does look to have a bit of pace about him. He’s got the same sire as Buveur D’air as well.

Now that I’ve seen someone else mention him I may take the plunge and back him

It was due to Covid last year and that all PTPs were cancelled. So they let them race in specific bumpers just for PTP horses

I'm interested in Bellatior. Beautifully bred half sister to Altior, sold for 300,000 Euro's at the 2020 Tattersalls Irish Derby Sale and entered to run at Punchestown on Tuesday 12th.

Wonder would she be kept till Down Royal if she was high in the pecking order?

Confirmation from stable tour that Guily Buily won’t be going into Bumpers

“He looked an exciting horse when winning his point-to-point. He’s been working well, and we’ll look to start him off in a maiden hurdle in the next few weeks. We’ll probably start him off over two-and-a-half miles.”
