2022 Champion Bumper

[harchibald]

Not hugely...but significant all the same as it's PP and someone's obviously had a good nibble. Spectre loves her to bits and expects her to be a player. I have to agree . She seems to have been the forgotten horse.

Was listening to Bryony on a betfair podcast and she says Pink in the Park is awesome - She's been riding out the mare and says its amazing the way she covers the ground. I watched back her run and hard not to agree with her. She's due to run on Sunday and I guess we'll know more then.

Paddies 50/1 for The Big Doyen to win on the weekend and Champion Bumper

Cracking price if you don't have him onside.

Taken this, think Facile Vega will do the double here and at the festival but good to have cover

Have had a point on Sandor Clegane to win at the DRF & Cheltenham at 45/1

Visually I’ve never seen a more effortless performance in person so maybe I’m biased but his Punchestown win was very impressive

Hills have Sandor @ 66/1 (boosted 75/1) for the double

You have to say that the form of here race is shockingly bad, yes she did win very well and she will probably do well at the weekend in mares company. But against the geldings she will be completely put in her place.

They were shocked at how well she won when she did and running in September isn't the sign of a top horse for Willie at all.

She will be one of the top ones for the race this weekend but she wont stand a chance vs Facile Vega and Redemption Day who the Mullins team thing are much better

I couldn't disagree with this more.

Most of the horses at the head of the market beat average horses senselessly, so it's not line of reasoning that's worth too much.

I know for a fact that they weren't shocked at how well she won in September.

As for the comparison to Facile Vega and Redemption day, I'd suggest it may be worth considering the small matter of the 7lb allowance, which leaves her close to the other two, and with a bundle of improvement expected.

Where she ultimately ends up in the pecking order of the three is yet to be seen, and there is no presumption from 'Team Mullins' that she's the back number.

Will be interesting to see how she gets on at the weekend, debut looked effortless but no winning fav since the inception of the DRF for this mares flat race which I was surprised about

Interesting comments from DJ saying someone told him Itswhatunitesus is the best young horse of Gordon's stable. Gordon doesn't really agree but he says he's very good.

Gordon puts that to bed literally a minute later...

Gordon puts that to bed literally a minute later...

He also said if he had a ?10 free bet of the weekend he'd put it on him. Looking at his form it's not great.

"How far does American Mike win the bumper by?"

"The length of the straight"

He always says that though

He will be nicely ahead of the other horses as he jumps the last, with the Vega already waving to crowd

Quite a big drift on The Big Doyen for tomorrows race out to 10/1 now, was 9/2 this morning with 365.

Be in huge trouble if he jumps the last to be fair.
