          Looked very one paced to me. Whether it was ground related or he’s just a galloper. Didn’t really pull away from the second like I thought he would, only put daylight the last hundred yards or so.

            Unfortunately it looked more of a Waltz rather than the Quick step which we wanted to see

              Bumper lot much of a muchness at the moment for me

              2 standout ones for Gigginstown with Koktail Brut and Kalypso'chance

              Nothing from Willie yet but its way too early for him, Xmas there'll be a few more clues

                We've seen almost all of Cullentra’s crop so far bar Theflyingking, I’m hanging my hat on him laying down a marker now.

                Maybe I was too harsh on Classical Creek initially at Down Royal, he was very green, if the penny has dropped he could come on leaps & bounds next time out.

                  Haven't take much interest as yet in this year's bumper crop. Has anything come close to a mid 120s RPR as yet on first running?

                    "They didn't go much of a gallop, he's a big galloper & will be a nice horse. He's more of a jumper over 2m4f & we'll take our time with him this year"

                      Kalypso and Koktail Brut were both mid to high 120’s.

                        He did look a big old raw brut. Classical Creek is the 'one' for Gordon now then.

                          Not sure any of them will even come here but the Mares bumper at Fairyhouse has 2 decent looking Mullins horses.

                          The Gigginstown horse had a good write up in OJA but Jody is on board, with Patrick choosing the Magnier owned Future Prospect. Might be more a pointer towards the DRF but if any are impressive here and at Leopardstown, could see them at Cheltenham.

                            Yeah I'm really surprised he pitched them against each other. They seemed like the two he was most keen on in the Stable Tours.

                              I'm hoping Sunday's bumper will be a pointer to Cheltenham and it's The Creek leading them home (wishful thinking most likely).

                                Classical Creek, Kalypso'chance & Whinney Hill all declared for the bumper at Navan on Sunday.

                                Personally hoping CC has improved from Down Royal a fair bit, and puts the pair of them away!
