  • I thought he got a lot of picks in the thread where we nominated our Festival winners. I was quite surprised but be interested in the case. Personally, despite my pocket, I can't see him winning after not picking up any more experience after that debut.

      It’s just very odd that they didn’t run him again. There were plenty of opportunities. As you say, he clearly needs the experience. Suggests something was amiss perhaps.

        Hope rather than expectation perhaps

            Fun Fun Fun unlikely to go

            rio on Twitter: " @Dazjacob10 tells us FUN FUN FUN will most likely go to aintree for the mares bumper and skip Cheltenham- the double green are still undecided however @DavidJenningsRP @RacingPost https://t.co/yZ2t8K8iu1" / Twitter

              He'd have to cut his leg off to do the weight on FFF

                Can't do the weight for FFF he said in an interview I saw. All the signs point to her skipping Chelt and going to Aintree. Jacob mentioned that also

                    He was working shite for ages so couldn't get him out, only back in form last few weeks.

                    Fun fun fun likely to take her chance, owners want to run.

                      Yeah I’d heard reports of him not being well in his coat or his work. The reason I’m stubbornly sticking with him is the visual impression he gave me at Fairyhouse despite losing.

                      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.

                      • Will Chapeau even get in the race?

                        • I hadn’t realised Willmount was running today. Did it well enough. But you’d think it’s be too close to the festival for him to run. Would be interesting at Aintree.

                            I thought he wasn't on the entries list for the bumper anyway? Can't say I read the list myself as I've kind of fucked this race off as far as betting goes since every and anything Willie sent out was billed as the winner but I'm sure I seen an FJ mention that Willmount wasn't entered for the champion bumper.

                              Ah yeah. You’re right! Hadn’t realised that. Ignore me

                              • Yeah I know myself and Lobos had our eyes on Willmount and disappointed when not entered.
