Champion Bumper 2020

Jane Mangan mentions a bumper horse on the latest FFP that has an entry at the weekend.

Owned by Chevley Park and is supposedly the well touted - she seemed to really talk him up.

Ballyadam? 330k in November.

I saw Mike Grech was the guy behind the two huge Henrietta Knight P2P purchases, although I suspect this year will be too soon for them. Intrigued to see where they end up.

EDIT - Woops, that's what happens you go to respond to the post but take 20 minutes on this forum!

Plenty of big prices available about Power Of Pause. I suspect much bigger than those on the betting slips. Surely a golden opportunity for the believers to fill their boots?

Your Darling and Champagnesuperover were both impressive first time. Any news as to whether this is the plan? I wonder if they will try and get more experience in that decent Newbury bumper. You would have thought Champagnesuperover needs a proper race before the Festival as he barely came off the bridle.

Your Darling confirmed for Aintree but the 20's has disappeared for Champagnesuperover in the last few days.

Is anyone backing Appreciate It 9/4 here ?
As impressive as he was 9/4 would probably represent the single worst price I have ever seen for a non championship Festival horse 5 weeks out without NRNB insurance...

There have been very few if any knock your eye out bumper performances this season. Not even sure that this was one. Certainly not one to make him 9/4.

Last season I was on Blue Sari who visually you could see quicken up on debut. I thought Appreciate It lengthened away rather than quickened. And what did he run away from? The second has now been beaten on three out of four runs and sports that noseband for a reason. The other O'Brien horse totally bombed leaving in all probability not a great deal.

At this stage Appreciate It might be best of a bad lot but he is priced up as if he outstanding.

As I originally suspected Champagnesuperover jocked up for that listed Newbury bumper on Saturday. Possibility he will go off favourite.
 
We can’t be far away from the first preview evenings and Ireland usually kick off before UK, every chance a name or two will be put out there in the coming days....

For anyone on Panic Attack she's been bought by Bryan Drew....according to son Harry Drew. Not sure if moving over to England. Presume so.

Moved to Pipes.

Jesus what a waste of talent.... I’ve got a toilet he can use to flush his money down!

No, not now. I've cashed him today for a small loss.

What price did you get Power of Pause COD? I was on with 365 at 28/1 so with the amount they’ve pushed him out my cashout is only about 50% which is a bigger hit than I’d want to take at this point. I’ve left it currently in the hope he’ll shorten when nrnb kicks in.

Same price VF, I took the hit of just over 1 1/2pts loss on him, I'm not one to be sitting on a horse I don't think will turn up (given Appreciate Its dominance at the weekend for the same owners), and whilst I may have got more of my stake back waiting for NRNB, we don't know when that will be currently, if at all prior to the festival.

I have a couple of free bets still left on him @ 25's, so no reason for me to leave funds tied up.
 
Ballyadam is a tough one here, is he more of an Envoi or MR? Either way, they were happy to send either in the end to this, and if this guy impresses when first seen, his price will drop like a fly. I think he might be worth getting onside at 33s. I can't think of Elliot having too many bumper hopes this year + that might be why they are getting him out.
 
...Ballyadam a sea of blue on Oddschecker, the last of the 33-1 disappeared with William Hill cutting into 25s in the last 30mins.
