Along with Fact to File. I thought he might go straight over hurdles.

I was thinking they’d skip bumpers too. If he does stay in bumpers then it won’t change my opinion of him being a festival candidate. I think he could be very useful even without obstacles. He was my top pointer to follow this season.

Completely agree. Of the 5yo pointers it was him and An Tobar for me. The 33/1 about him for the bumper seems very fair if he's declared here. No entry in the hurdles at Christmas either which is probably telling.

He’d not been mentioned in any stable tours which meant I had to take a punt on bumpers versus hurdles. I sided with hurdles but held off backing until some entries were forth coming. I really think he’s a weapon that could be competitive in bumpers despite my inclination for hurdles.

Just seen Nick Rockett is in the same race. Going to be interesting to see who Patrick chooses. Could be a good indicator.

Would be unlike Willie to declare both this early in the season if he likes them. But if they did both stand then jockey booking would be telling. Nick Rockett has some winners from his point in the same way An Tobar and Bazza The Butcher.

Nick Rockett managed to win his P2P going away after coming from near the back late on despite making a pretty bad mistake a few jumps out. I backed him twar a while back in the hope he might be quite useful.

Now that we’re pretty sure it’s bumpers, I’ve taken the 50s with 365. Good price that

….next best is 20-1 so that is a good price. I’m in with a little interest.

5 years old already. Could be one bumper and then a hurdle race at Xmas. Good price though.

Yeah that is a worry (same with Facto To File) but where would he run? I suppose the Grade 2 2m7f at Limerick? It seems to me as though Willie has entered virtually all of his top hurdlers (regardless of trip preference or maiden status) in the 2m hurdle at Leopardstown and he wasn't.

Possibly a maiden. Hadn't looked at the graded race entries. Does seem to signal a bumper campaign may be the choice.
