No, but would you back him for it now ? -
Yes, absolutely. To dismiss the horse would be foolish. I think CDS will reverse that form.Originally posted by Lobos View PostComment

Ok. I've backed him but have basically ditched my ticket. He had every chance.Originally posted by Cheltenham Novice Chase View PostComment

Twitter fools. Just ignore them would be my advice and wait for official information.. 9/10 times the info is very, very wide of the mark and just guess work like you and I. Complete tosh.Originally posted by ComplyOrDie View Post

Watched the Bumper back and no doubt at all that BDA was way superior today. Won with a ton in hand. Codd piece rode him from the start like he was the winner. Very confident. CPS very green but no way does he turn the tables.Comment

Race was a full minute slower than standard
Don't think it's possible to judge the relative standard of horses in such a slowly run race
I'm becoming more and more convinced bumpers are a complete waste of time
A significant percentage of them are run at a farcically slow paceComment

He won in a sprint, race fit, against a rival that didn't know what to do when asked. Absolutely too premature to be saying there is 'no way' the horse won't turn the tables, we're talking about 4yos jesus.Originally posted by Lobos View Post

Plus come the festival if a bigger field and stronger pace CDS should get more cover you would hope.Originally posted by darlojim View Post

Unfortunately yesterday I was trying to watch the race on my phone whilst sat round the pool in the blazing sunshine (will stop rubbing it in now) and some old chap started talking to me and wouldn't leave me alone so didn't really get to watch the race properly.
I was gonna cash my bet out on CDS but thought I best watch it back this morning before I do and I'm glad I did. I didn't even realise CDS finished 2nd until now, but the head carriage alot of the way round will have had a big effect on him and ability to breath soundly, can see once he's right he flies home. Get him to settle and I can see him improving past BDA no problem. Hopefully BDA is a real good sort and them two both end up good enough to be in the bumper in March.Comment

Feel like both horses will benefit from a better pace and bigger field. Not sure why CDS is being singled out for that. Both were keen early on, CDS led so got no cover but BDA raced wide most of the way and also got no cover.
I'm hopeful they're both really good.Comment

Agree. BDA was in cruise control also at the end and bolted up. Codd was looking behind and eased him right down once the race was won. He had plenty left. I've got both in the book but if I had to pick one it would be BDA.Originally posted by Benjy23 View PostComment

Given Gordons early season form I'm inclined to mark up the bumper debut performances of both King Of Kingsfields and even Halka Du Tabert.
Both won, despite the stable not exactly being on fire, something plenty of his couldn't do at the time.

Do mares get an allowance in the bumper? Just looking over Queens Gamble and would mark up if she gets oneComment
