2024 Champion Bumper (A FLAT RACE)

[JackieMoon33]

Wingmen at 33/1 with 365 for the Bumper is something I've taken today.... same connections as Firefox who was beaten in this race last year. I know it didn't end up working out for Firefox with regards to going to Cheltenham but he's a bit of a weapon this season so maybe it's going to be a race Gordon sends a good one too going forward.

Worth focussing on whoever Gordon declares for the Navan bumper on Sunday. Only sticking point could be ownership and whether they're more inclined to go the the Cheltenham bumper now.

FWIW hearing that Romeo Coolio will run either New Years Eve or New Years Day, one run then off to the festival if all goes well

That's great news Billy. It's fair to say I've FOMO'd into this one heavier than I should have.

Wingmen reported to maybe go for a hurdles run later in the season but one for next season.

I dare say there's a few in that boat.
Think I've added him in a few multi's with a bunch of Ricci pigs though so the jackpot dream died a while back...

Hopefully no setbacks this time, come through with flying colours then we have a ticket for the lottery in March and see if hes got what it takes.

Very small team this year of bumper horses compared with previous
The nicer few were held back for Chistmas because of the size of the team

Gordon has declared Jalon D'oudairies and The Enabler in what has turned out to be a very warm bumper. The Swan is on The Enabler which would usually indicate he's the stable number one.

Surprised Redemption Day is running in a bumper.
