Apologies - a friend told me that today was her 4th bumper run
 
If you go onto Irishracing.com and look up previous winners of races, they give you the race conditions too. sometimes easier that trolling through the BHA site
 
QUOTES: SOARING GLORY is a nice horse and we've always thought the world of him since we had him as a store. He proved it in his first run and this is a big step up. He's a fair animal, it's hard to know how far he'll go but I think that'll turn out to be a good bumper. The world's his oyster until he gets beat, I'm sure he will at some point, but we can dream for now - Jonjo O'Neill jnr, jockey.

Posted a RPR of 130 at Ascot.

Gavin Sheehan, jockey; Two caught my eye. Laurina looked something out of the ordinary on her chasing debut at Gowran Park. I’m lucky to have sat on Soaring Glory, who won the bumper at Ascot, at Jackdaws. I know the regard Jonjo [O’Neill] and Jonjo jnr hold him in and was hoping he would do something like he did on Saturday.

Ascot next in the race that DTLYOT won, wouldnt be surprised if he was in the same silks by the time the race comes along.

Yes - I can see the Green & Gold come March.

I'm not actually backing him, just posting about the performance and subsequent comments.
 
Aione a once touted prospect returns to the track tomorrow in the bumper at Punchestown - a year or two back was highly thought of for Rich Ricci and had a nice PTP win.
i would imagine he’ll go over hurdles after this but interesting how he goes tomorrow.

He won't be eligible for this.
 
Ferny hollow
Figaroc
Wide receiver all in the bumper.
 
Figaroc was meant to run in the cahir maiden hurdle but will be balloted out.
And like allaho last year, is not eligible for the champion bumper.

he's entered in the other maiden as well isn't he ?
 
Ferny Hollow has opened up 5/4 with Bet365 lads!

Surely that is absolutely huge!
