Interesting little bumper at DR tomorrow. Quite fancy On Eagles wings to beat the jolly in this getting the 7lbs

Does he not have to concede the 7? But jockey does knock it off anyway? Form with FH too!

Apologies for those without PP/BFSB/365 - but I have a question for those that do.

Plenty like to take advantage of cash out.... Hollow Games is 33/1 without cashout, and 25/1 with it....

Based on a comment like that, and let's say, 'an entry', what do people do?

For me 8 points difference is loads. I almost always 'take the biggest price if it's with a cashout firm' as the positives out weigh the negs... but with such a price difference, what are people's approaches?

In the bumper especially you'd take the shorter prices with the flexibility/insurance(to whoever can) purely as there is little/nothing to go on & is essentially guessing to beat the price. That's my view on it &I I don't even build a book on races.

I don't think I've ever had the winner of the Bumper in all my years so apologies for anyone who has already backed Sir Gerhard and Hollow Games ! Let's hope this is the year !

In the bumper race for me its a no brainer would take the cash out option.

You only have to look at the last 2 years. 2019 , Envoi would not have went only Malone got injured. 2020 , How highly thy rate Farouk & Ballyadam and sent neither
Even if he was up there with his best he does not necessarily send them to the bumper, especially ones regraded as maybe big staying chasers of the future (Envoi & Farouk example)

Other races I would play different but the bumper would be cash out unless I am sure closer to the day that is the target when a trainer confirms

[Ballyfitz]

I wish I didn’t have the cash out option the year Envoi won though - so glad I was able to cash out when GE said he wouldn’t be going
