2023 Bumper

[Big Bucks]

….Elliott says BDA, KOK & Pour Les Filles will likely represent him.

Nice!!! I had written KOK out!

Patrick generally doesn't do the weight on mares in the Cheltenham Bumper.
Which is why he'll want her to run at aintree instead.

Was there at the weekend and Patrick was kind enough to have a photo with me after, asked him about Fun Fun Fun and he said exactly what you’ve said here

I bet he's disappointed. Willie will want to run her though based on his comments. He clearly thinks she's a quality Mare. No reason why she can't run at Cheltenham and Aintree as there's a full month between them.

I had kok out as well

The bumper looks to be a fascinating renewal this year with no clear fav

feels like we could have a 33/1, 40/1 year

for me, I like reading the posts on here but I’m not touching this race until the day now, where I’ll throw a point on a horse just to keep it interesting

for those attacking this race from a AP perspective, you are brave!! Lol

Anyone heard anything on chapeau de soleil since his drift on the exchange?

I have a mate who has some form of contact out there connected loosely to Mullins, whether or not this is bollocks or not I don't know - but when I asked him on Chapeau, he had a text saying that 'Willie wasn't happy with his coat, probably won't run again but Cheltenham still plan, thinks he should get a run'

Make of that what you will. It's not great news if true but at least it confirms he's not injured.....or in a ditch.

Very conflicting statement!!

I guess it is a tad reading it back. Apologies. I suppose at the very least we know he’s alive….is that any better?

Better than we'd ever get from Willie!!

I wonder if by "should get a run", they mean, he should get a run in the Champ Bumper. If it is an oversubscribed field for the race, how do they ballot runners out? Is it by rating, or do winners of a bumper get priority etc., neither of which I think CDS has going for him.

I missed the bumper at the weekend and it was Saxon Warrior's DRF yankee that got me looking at A Dream to Share, there really wasn't much wrong with his performance was there ?
And there really isn't anything wrong with his form overall is there ?
Can't help thinking that his price is holding up because of who trains him, had this one come out of Closutton he'd be half his current price.
One to add to a few multis for me...

I can’t help thinking that if we had pooled all our money that we’ve spent trying to get the winner of this race we could have bought the winner of this race.

Three times over!!

Which one would we have bought though ?
