    25s.

    I’d love to see Irish Panther over 2m

    • Underwhelming, or at least muddling, division so far. More so after a key trial race. Maybe just been spoilt by a good 5 or 6 years and this season is more back in line with a ‘typical’ year though.

      Shame no BDA in the race today but think it very un-Willie that we didn’t see CDS line up here. Maybe didn’t want to run him without a win under his belt I suppose. I feel like I could have 10 guesses at the winner in this and still miss though

        • Patrick interview he said Willie was keen for him to ride Fancy Girl tomorrow and that it turned into a sprint and he’d like to have another crack v the winner on fact to file

              Didn't find much, no excuses as far as I could see

              • As a Fact To File backer, I'd have preferred a win but am not too disheartened. The front two finished well clear and I think Fact To File would prefer a stronger pace that he should get in a big field Champion Bumper.

                  Was rumours he was meant to be sold on but failed with the vet, but his ability looked exposed today.

                  Winner was very good and was giving 3lb to the others also, just sums up this seasons bumper division.

                    Patrick said he was a smart one when interviewed. He knew.

                      Before or after the race?

                        • Cartoon dog likes Fact To File after todays run.... was surprised but really are we back t a year without a standout? If so .... does make some sense knowing he'll knuckle down and keep running...

                            Step forward Chapeau De Soleil doing a Ferny and winning at Fairyhouse (I can hope)!

                            • I do think It's for Me and Did I Ask You That are the two most promising seen this year, with Slade Steel not too far behind.

                              Barry would still be interesting (but wouldn't turn up) and Henry and Gordon have some good PTP recruits who were trained to win their 4 year old PTPs and could turn up here and run well.
