    He’s a big stamp of a horse. “Bought to win. Champion Bumper” was a quote from Patrick that has always stood out to me. How often do we hear that. I think a good end to end gallop & going left handed will see him definitely in the shake up.
    Yes mate, think he'll reverse that for sure. He was the number 1 there start of the season and they thought he was 'the 1' but just a spell of bad work meant they never got him out again which wasn't ideal but Paddy said last few weeks he properly back in form now and 'no surprise is he were to win it' so seems to be good vibes again there.
    Will ride the fav at the moment unless work changes that next week.

      Patrick tends to ride the Clonsutton fav most seasons I’d imagine. Hard not to really given it would be hard to separate them from their homework. I’d be hoping Paul picks him up on second dibs!


      Cheers for the info anyway good to hear he’s going the right direction now.

          Always felt the current fav was a false one.

          • How do those people that fancy A dream To Share interpret the run of Feronily at Kelso on Saturday? Was it a positive or negative or irrelevant?? Interested to hear people's thoughts.

              Middling for me. Finished fourth but ran to 128 RPR in a good quality race. Was quite novicey at a few and smashed through the second last. Engine looked decent enough.

                  • Favour and Fortune is some price here at 25s on the very simple basis that both of his runs had a bit of wow factor about them. Hit the line hard both times and that bodes well for the Cheltenham hill. He’s no 25s poke in a renewal as open as this anyway. Leaves me with KOK and CDS from the start of the season and FTF and FAF in the recent weeks. That’s my battalion of four. I shall call them the Acronym Bumper Battalion Army (ABBA).

                      Yep, like him as well.
                      No brainer at that price imo, from watching him.

                          • On Talksport Alan Brazil has just said he's had a text from Suede saying they have big hopes for El Fab, IEP and Fun Fun Fun

                            Obviously everyone's free to take that as they like given the source

                              • I would love Fun Fun Fun to run. That's very positive.
