One of my favourite races at festival , this year will be no different.

Had only one bet atm and that is Stay Humble 33/1 for Mullins/Wylie.

His profile from p2p is very good and at the prices speculative:):):) bet to follow for season.
 
Also chanced Stay Humble. Seems to have a decent reputation from the point field and connections won't swerve the race..

I am a little surprised the bookies have Stay Humble at 33/1 just based on connections and the background.

LONG way out to be naming the bumper winner, and I am not complaining about a horse being a bigger price than I'd expect.

The other one in the Mullins stable at 33/1 but ib the Ricci silks is Aione. Declan Phelan is quoted as saying he a sure-fire bumper winner over the winter and could be involved at the Spring festivals.

Pretty sure Patrick mentioned him in a recent interview on ATR (I think?!)..

Sorry I should have put 'had' originally! 25s 1/4 the odds best now as you say.
 
Mullins has a few nice ones. Personally backed the 2 above.
Dorrels pierji was a very nice ptp horse, Now mullins/ Jared sullivan, could be one to note.
And an interesting one for sentimental reasons being a big fan of Augusta Kate, AMEN CORNER for the masters syndicate (wylie, shearer etc...) I believe a full brother to Augusta Kate was registered a few weeks ago on horse racing ireland.
 
Definitely not betting in this race till Wednesday morning 14th march !. Too many no shows last year.

I see it like this , if they any good no other race for them to aim at , its either this or nothing.

Mullins tends to monopolize the field with 6 or more runners and as Briar Hill showed us few years ago , tis possible one goes under the radar till the big day.

A lot of Irish bumpers are run on soft ground sometimes at a steady gallop. End to end gallop on good ground brings out any amount of improvement.

True to a point Beast, but the likes of Giggs and Hendo have made no secret of their loathing for the race.
If you are a trainer/owner who build your entire season around the festival then yes this is the only option, but there are a few big bumper pots in the Spring so some alternatives
 
Very nice performance from P.Hobbs Tidal Flow today in the Newbury Bumper. Got squeezed for room on the run-in yet still had the ability to come round a wall of horses and win very nicely. Impressive.
 
That looked like a half decent bumper Doc but there will be much stronger in the coming weeks.
If Tidal Flow can follow up with a penalty in a decent event he may well have to be taken seriously but I would expect there to be stronger candidates that haven't hot the racecourse yet....
 
No mention at all for Stay Humble in the Mullins stable tour, even in the bumper section.... :grumpy:

Got to try and keep one out of the lime light I suppose ;)
 
Dortmund Park, I was under the impression he would go novice hurdling this year but he is very prominent in the betting here.

Can’t find anything on future plans, has anybody seen anything?

I’ve also requested odds on Hollowgraphic after reading the stable tour, if the odds are decent I’ll take a small punt just based on Willies words

Hollowgraphics run in the goffs land rover bumper was very good. If he could come on from that he'd deffinately be up there. Expect him to open up antepost fav for this race though on request.

Patrick Mullins just gave this as one he is really looking forward to and will win first time out ...

I see WH are 33/1 for Chelt if anyone is interested.

33/1 is far too big. Especially when you can see his form already. He's had a summer to strengthen up. I'd have thought he'd have opened up no bigger than 16s and hoped for 20s.

Won't be there for long I'd imagine.... doesn't take a large amount to get things cut.

I've only had 1 pt on - don't want to get too involved in the bumper :D
 
Baffling price 33s for Hollowgraphic, especially now we know bumpers are the target for this year. Patrick Mullins just given him as his horse to follow for this year, and that he was too weak for his frame last year. The form of his bumper 2nd last year reads well enough to merit a punt regardless, if he’s improved on that into this year then he’s a cracking bet at 33s. Expect Paddys to price him up half that at the most
