2023 Bumper

[Exar Essay]

I wasn’t blown away but maybe I always want bumper horses to win doing handstands. He’s in the mix but nothing more.

Like Largy Hill just did …

Any post race quotes??

Probably straight over hurdles knowing Willie

[Sprinter Sacre]

Anyone know much about Ile Atlantique?

…..20-1 still available for FTF.

That says it all in regards to the performance.

Not eligible as ran over hurdles in France.

"That fella took all day to get going. He was one of the favourite horses I bought last year, I loved him from the day he came. That experience today, especially what he did in the last 100 yards, will stand to him."

Hopefully it was greeness. Otherwise I’ll be revising my Ballymore prediction to the AB next season

I’ve only just reviewed the form of Will Do who was 7 1/2 length back in 3rd today. Second to Monbeg park over 2m5f. Beat the well fancied Seabank Bistro into third and posted an RPR of 131. So a pretty decent yardstick for Willie you’d have thought.

Watching the race back, I’m warming to FTF. Second to CDS of the ones we’ve seen so far, for me.

Willie Mullins-Ile Atlantique
@LeopardstownRC
:“He was very green turning for home & when Patrick asked him, it took while for penny to drop up straight. I think he’s championship bumper class so he’ll be heading down that road. Probably come back here for Dublin Racing Festival.”


Definitely ineligible yeah?

“Ages and restrictions: Open to four, five and six-year-olds which have not run under any recognised Rules of Racing, except National Hunt Flat races, Irish National Hunt Flat races or French AQPS races. Horses are not to have run in more than four National Hunt Flat races and, before February 27, must have been placed first, second, third or fourth in such a race.”

max number of prior races down to three this year but afaik the rules remain unchanged otherwise. Should be able to run in the Leopardstown & Punchestown races and also in aintree I think

Should be assured that the majority of bookmaker's haven't got him priced up, would say that's a pretty strong sign that he is ineligible.

Championship bumper races are not limited to Cheltenham or the UK.

Interesting to see Lecky Watson open up as fav for tomorrow’s bumper despite being up against two Elliott hype horses (and him having the rare tag of not being a hype Mullins bumper horse).

Should be very informative. Not sure why LW is so much shorter than Cato Capone and he's the 3rd choice for Elliott
It will be between the two Elliott horses for me.
