2026 Champion Bumper

Having just listened to the podcast I think you can make a reasonable guess at how they rate them at Closutton:

1. Love Sign D’Aunou
2. Quiryn
3. Irish Avatar
4. Our Trigger

Quiryn for me is you have to back 5 minutes before the race or not at all, he apparently got very lit up in the paddock before his last start and if he does that at Cheltenham he'll be a proper drifter on the machine 5 mins to post
 
Is Oh My Word an intended runner? I know there was rumours a while ago he wouldn't be going but Delargy seems to think he is

Who are 'they'? We know Patrick has got things wrong on more than one occasion.

It should be straightforward to grasp the context given we’re all talking about the same podcast.

4yos have a terrible record in this though. That’s what puts me off this one.

I'm in total agreement with Saxon in that Love Sign looks a cut above. Yes he's pretty short now but I do think he'll go off fav and a fair bit shorter.

I’ve been trying to find one (or more) to beat love sign all night. As hard as I try, not sure anything comes too close. Maybe it’s time for to just admit defeat and get on the gift horse. Only possible weakness is the probable better ground.
 
well Oh my word is in the bumper entries

It's only a game in for Brassil - no cityofblindin

fwiw - Brassil doesn't want either going

Are the entries for this confirmed now? Can’t see them listed anywhere, assume the handicap ratings have taken precedence

Me either. Surely the yoke gets balloted either way? The whole field usually rocks up with a win, so unless the field isn’t full he’s out lol

Edit* I’m on A/P so irrelevant either way.

Probably being moved to another trainer post Cheltenham so just getting him on the boat with some company, I can't imagine he'd be showing up at the festival.
