2023 Bumper

[ComplyOrDie]

I believe the owners tweeted all roads lead to cheltenham or something along the lines of that CoD.

Fair enough mate, he's going to have to be special, in my mind anyway, to win the bumper off one start

[Exar Essay]

What would be the next target before the festival for It's For Me?

I know the bumper has been won by horses on only their second start before (not common though), but it's not usually the M.O. of Willie, so it would put a doubt in my mind of him not even turning up if he isn't able to get another run into him.

3rd and 4th last year and the much fancied Redemption Day with just one run so I think he might be changing tack slightly.

I think I said on here at the time, he very much reminds me of Redemption Day, a little speed ball, but may lack the physical requirements to get up that hill.

But anyway, that's another issue altogether. The fact is I guess that the ones that only had one run all ended up behind the main one.

It wasn’t going up the hill that beat Redemption Day in the bumper last year, he capitulated going down the the hill. It was definitely the ground that scuppered his chances. If it had been drier then I think he’d have put in a much better showing just like Punchestown

[FredFlintstone]

I don't think Feronily should be overlooked in the bumper, practically in the one at Leopardstown without the winners penalty. The bumper he was beat in could have been the best bumper over Christmas - I asked WM at Leopardstown on the 27th for a horse to follow and he gave me Atlantique.
