2022 Champion Bumper

I think both the 1/2 ran with great credit and should be monsters next year aswell.
 
Class wins out on the ground.

Lets hope FV can jump a hurdle. Not sure if he will go to the Supreme or Ballymore but there's some very good P2P recruits to come out over the next couple of months that look like they'll suit the Ballymore. I'm hoping FV will be routed to the Supreme.

American Mike ran well. Looks a stayer to me so Ballymore or Albert Bartlett. Elliott has some good recruits so will be interesting to see how he plots them.

St James Gate running well and a sighter at the course for the Ballymore next year.

Even though he ran an absolute shocker I think redemption day will be in the supreme picture the ground today was just the opposite of what he wanted
 
Both look like they'll need and enjoy a trip tbh. There will be plenty holding FV Supreme slips and Con Hill CH slips in singles and doubles and it may well be I told you so this time next year but I wouldn't dream of thinking that far ahead. I'd love to see the latter jump a fence tbh

Yes no doubt they'll be thinking of the Supreme for Redemption Day at the moment but another who hasn't come from a P2P background so we don't know how jumping will affect him.

Mullins will have plenty of ammo and I'm sure he's got some other bumper horses still to come out this season to add to his already good collection this year.
 
What I don’t understand is given the conditions … why on earth does PT take the inside route knowing the state of the ground and yet 99% of the other jockeys move to fresher ground where possible… gets absolutely swallowed up in the space of a few yards coming round the bend. Would expect that from an amateur jockey

Was stupid that wasn’t it

to counter that tbf, James' Gate came through the race on the side of the track very well also, RD quite clearly didnt handle the conditions which were absolutely attritional
