2022 Champion Bumper

[JackieMoon33]

Should we be looking at Sa Fureur here? Running in the same bumper today that Envoi Allen won.

Same race but very different profile though. Whilst I’m a fan of the ‘creatures of habit’ angle, I’m not sure if that will line up here. Very interesting nonetheless.

Nice little form boost for American Mike with Royal Romeo sharing the spoils in the competitive Fairyhouse bumper this eve. AM beat him easily into second at Down Royal last time out.

[Maxfield]

With Amercian Mike already covered, I've decided to cover that bet with two of Willies who haven't run yet Facile Vega 25/1 (now 20/1) and Glowing Account 33/1. Hopefully I have the winner and can put the bumper to one side now!

Patrick tight-lipped on Facile Vega..

You do get the feeling they think hes a bit useful

[Lobos]

This Facile Vega has gone right over my head. No idea who or what he is. I think I must have been in a coma or something

Well you’d like to think they wouldn’t name it facile unless they had very high expectations.

Go on Twitter and watch the video of jess Stafford interviewing willie Mullins

she asked him for a horse to follow and he said they had an unnamed horse by walk in the park out of quevega that would and I quote "take the eye out of your head" on the gallops

that horse was named facile Vega last week

obviously being good in your work and good on the track are different but given connections there are worse 20/1 shots

I believe Patrick had also mentioned the horse earlier in the year too

[Lobos]

Thanks guys. I've already got the 1st and 2nd in this race with American Pie and Pinky and Perky so I'll let you have the 3rd home !

[FinalFurlong91]

Oh and people who were getting jumpy about lurkers driving facile Vega's price down that video on twitter has almost 50,000 views

Anyone ever seen anything written about the elliott horse Itswhatunitesus in the bumper at navan tomorrow?

Not mentioned in the stable tour but he's being supported and available at 40/1 for this.

[PresentingPercy]

Elliott on bumper winner Itswhatunitsus at Navan today, in case people are looking to back him for the Ch Bumper;

“He’s a lovely horse and we won’t do much more with him this year,” said Elliott.

“We’ll give him a break and we’ll probably bring him back for Fairyhouse and leave it there. He’s one for the future.”

Guilty bully declared for hurdle tomorrow at Tramore

Together with Classic Getaway and Grangeclare West going Novice Hurdling according to the Mullins tour and having early entries over Christmas

Is there any other Chevely Park contender for this giving their recent history in the race ?

[Leman14]

Both CG and GW are entered up over xmas (hurdles), but I still wouldn't be surprised if one is kept back for the Bumper.

Xmas entries are made miles in advance, so it makes sense for Willie to enter both to keep options open.
It only takes a missed engagement/postponement/niggle for them to remain in bumpers.

I won't give up hope until they are declared for a hurdles race

[NormaJean85]

I've heard from a friend of a friend of a friend that the Mediator wins the Bumper this year.
