Interested to see how Molly's Mango gets on today in the bumper at Punchestown. I believe she had an entry or two the back end of last season but was never declared. She could be an interesting bumper horse this season. Wouldn't be the first time Gordo had a decent filly in the Champion Bumper, either.
Her sire is new to the game of breeding, but he wasn't a bad hurdler himself. The dam is by Stowaway, who probably needs little introduction, having sired multiple festival winners, including 2012 Champion Bumper winner, Champagne Fever. The grand dam has also produced a festival winner, in World Hurdle winner, More Of That. So there is encouragement on the breeding front.
Whether she obviously turns out to be close to that level is very much up for questioning, starting with todays bumper run. She's 50/1 for the Champion Bumper with 365. Given this is with cash out available, I am going to roll the dice and have her backed for small stakes.
