Don't think we have a thread yet so I think its time, I think I did it last year so I will take the initiative again seen as the entries are coming in now.

Sir Gerhard not declared for Weds but has an entry for Friday at Down Royal......all aboard, here we go!!



Get your eyecatchers in here please folks.
 
Magic tricks declared for Wed. Full brother to Abacadabras bought by JP with Gordy. Second in his point behind Gars de sceaux
 
Apart from the obvious! Chemical energy has looked a nice horse
 
As per the ante post thread earlier today "Couple of interesting bumper entries this Wednesday at Punchoestown. Cavallino for Willie & Patrick, owned by Malcolm Denmark (Next Destination etc..) and Magic Tricks (full brother to Abacadabras) for Elliott & JP. The latter was beat by Gars De Sceaux in his PTP, who, from what I can gather is highly thought of."

Fiston Des Issards also another interesting one.

Pencilfuloflead won it last year. But think it took up hurdles after? Worry anyone? Re Sir Gerhard entry Down Royal
 
I was in the market for a store at the Land Rover sale in August and fancied a Leading Light filly if she was the right price. It wasn't to be because she cost more than I was prepared for. When I expressed surprise to my agent he said that it was bought for Nicky Henderson because they had the Mahler half brother and thought he might be one of their better 4yo bumper horses.

The name? Firestep. No entries yet and possibly one to follow with interest rather than money.
 
Dark Spark is also very interesting. Won a few weeks back and has a wonderful page.
 
Cheers archie.

I notice Elliot has 4 entered for the Friday bumper but 3 of them have already run and all won (one of them twice). I guess all will not run, possibly Sir G and one other perhaps would be my guess.

Chemical Energy is one, which Ray mentioned.

His better one tends to go on the Saturday.

Yep that was what I was referring to as it had a decent bunch of entries. Mostly Gordon's though so nearly all won't be declared anyway.

Backing this just because I enjoy a good naming convention
 
Had a speculative 1pt on Indigo Breeze at 33/1. Good chance he might go hurdling after the Thurles win like The Bosses Oscar did last year for the same yard, but i'm happy to have a go and his next entry should tell us enough for cash out purposes!
 
Letsbeclearaboutit- G.Cromwell
Might be fairly useful. Won a Tipperary Bumper in very good style 20/10. Expecting him to move up in grade(take on some decent bumpers) next time out.

That is good, but it makes it all the more annoying they didn't call him Abracadabras

Or Alakazam!



We'll have a Fat Jockey horse soon enough and we can work out a name then :highly_amused:
 
Few nice bumper horses Jamie Codd mentions on Racing Post, all have been mentioned here at some stage anyway.

Sir Gerhard
Indigo Breeze
Glenglass
Gars des Sceaux
Hollow Games
Magic Tricks (who runs tomorrow 5/2)
 
Interesting little bumper at DR tomorrow. Quite fancy On Eagles wings to beat the jolly in this getting the 7lbs
