One of Chapeau, Better Days Ahead or KOK -
Obviously it isn't as straight forward as last year of just backing Facile VegaOriginally posted by Lobos View Post
Hard to workout to pecking order of Mullins ones at the moment. Chapeau probably the best that's been out so far. Better Days Ahead much better second time out, probably due to Elliott leaving work to be done on them. So will be interesting to see KOK next time out.

Especially as he is ineligible for the Champion Bumper.Originally posted by darlojim View PostComment

Ohhh yeah i see, i've overlooked that I must say. Get the feeling that Chapeau could be the one but you'd really want to see him round Leopards for a fair idea of his ability. KOK's form wasnt exactly boosted today with Faulty not winning.Originally posted by Exar Essay View PostComment

No Chapeau in the bumper
Cato Capone
Caldwell Potter
KOK
Special Cadeau
Lecky Watson
Codd is on Caldwell, am I right in thinking he doesn't ride many of giggys? So may not necessarily had the choice?Comment

I remember a bit of debate about this last year when Codd rode Braeside ahead of the Festival. But then he ended up on Run Wild Fred in the NHC. Not sure what to make of that other than it is not a strict rule if it is one.Originally posted by darlojim View PostComment

And rode KOK in his debut bumper. So I’d say he’s chosen the ride.Originally posted by The Giant Bolster View PostComment

I know he's associated with a bookie, but Ruby seems pretty confident on Fact To File putting up a good showing today, likes what he's seen at home, and also said he wasn't entirely for DIAYT yesterday from his homework.

Weapon. He’s the one.Originally posted by darlojim View Post
In all seriousness, I wrote a piece on him just after the season ended, putting him up as my Ballymore horse as I thought they’d skip bumpers. I’m still confident he’ll make the grade in bumpers though as he has a bit of everything.Comment

Pick the bones out of that then. Loved what he found off the bridle. He’ll love the hill. But is that form really good enough? Needed every yard of 2m4f too.
20/1 best price now. I think that’s very fair.Last edited by Exar Essay; 27 December 2022, 03:45 PM.Comment

Can’t really judge the form to be fair. It is a head scratcher. I think they went a good pace. I liked the way he put his head down. He was a bit green. Agree he’d like a strong finish at Cheltenham. I wasn’t blown away but maybe I always want bumper horses to win doing handstands. He’s in the mix but nothing more.Originally posted by Exar Essay View PostComment

Bumpers looking very open. If Elliott got Down Memory Lane into a bumper or Henry with Barry the Butcher or Killaney King targeted the bumper, any of those would be better than the ones we have seen out so far.Comment

I must say, watching DIAYT cross the line yesterday, I did think Henry just be tempted to get a run into BTB and then give him a dart at the Champion Bumper.Originally posted by DenmanSacre View PostComment

Based on their points they might be but that doesn’t always translate to bumpers, as we’ve seen so far.Originally posted by DenmanSacre View PostComment
