Hopefully Better Days Ahead but there's 3 or 4 who it could reasonably be. He could enter a few and we won't know until declarations who the chosen one is.

Important to note - the Friday bumper is not usually the one that Gordon sends his top bumper horse to. Will be a decent animal - Pencilfuloflead, Chemical Energy, Felix Desjy have won it in past but the Saturday one is the Sir Gerhard/American Mike one.

Looks like you can view the number of entries/trainers for DR Friday races on Irish site now without actually seeing which horses have been entered? Currently says just 3 entered for WKD Hurdle ( 2 trainers) and just 5 for the Flat race (2 trainers).

Better Days Ahead on the Friday ... hmmm. Rather implies the stable no.1 for the bumper is A N Other. Interesting to see Fil Dor retain an entry over hurdles as well as the 2m3f beginners chase.

That's a fair point, although I didn't think he double entered Mike last year? My memory could be playing tricks on me there though
