        Ahhhhh, poor chap. Makes the Bumper a more realistic target.

          Doesn't matter, his Hurdle run makes him ineligible.

                I’d agree asides from last year. The yard knew for a long long time it seemed that Facile was a monster.

                    Yet to see him, but as much as he might be my favurite trainer, Henry wouldn't be a big gun in the Champion Bumper histroically

                    • In his October Stable Tour HDB said he’d be staying in bumpers: https://jumpsm.attheraces.com/featur...ry-de-bromhead

                      "We’re just starting to work him now, but everything he has done, he has done it nicely.

                      "The plan is to keep him in bumpers this season and we’ll look to start him off from around the end of the November."

                      Obviously we’re into December now…​

                      • Big race in finding Gordon's horse for this on Sunday at navan

                        Won by envoi allen, sir gerhard and American mike I'm recent seasons

                        If king of kingsfield is declared I may pull the trigger

                        Given Gordon has left more to work on with his horses this season I'd be expecting a pretty decent bit of improvement and hopefully that 130+ rpr

                        He really doesn't have the pedigree of a typical gigginstown horse

                        He's by a flat sire who won the moulin
                        his damsire has produced loads of good flat horses and a few good hurdlers
                        his dam is a half sister to a group 2 winner

                        This is surely no usual gigginstown future staying chaser

                        One il be mulling over

                          He could be the type for Gigginstown to send to the Champion bumper as he doesn’t have a traditional NH pedigree himself. He did win his point though and didn’t look out of place, in terms of size, in his bumper win.

                          One thing to note though, Vadamos is now part of Coolmores NH roster so he’s not a ‘flat’ sire as such. He’s being sent plenty of NH mares now so in the next couple of years you’ll see plenty of jumpers by him hitting the track.
