Champion Bumper 2020

Asterion well clear of EA too!

I don't know him or his work, so will obviously take with a pinch of salt, however it is still interesting.

Oh yeah for sure, not even sure a point times are easy to compare at all. I bet there's distance issues etc, as Ireland can't even get their proper racecourses correct!

He did rave about AF after his debut timewise.
 
Ballyadam will be making the sea of blue thread today! Incredible that he's now 12-16/1 without running.
 
I am so done with the bumper.

Something I already know I'll be taking out of my antepost betting this year is stay the hell away from the bumper!

I'm very cross with myself I have Power of Pause at lofty prices with no bloody cash out and I really don't see him coming over now.

Ferny Hollow is still a possibility I guess but I'm not hopeful.

Risk Factor still a maybe but won't be beating Appreciate It.

Panic Attack I was very taken by and have 56/1 from Hills with the boost. So that's ok. But I do have my reservations of her turning up at all.

Should've listened to Kev's early thoughts and abandoned looking at this race from the start :highly_amused:

If you've followed my ante post diary you'll have seen I've struggled to follow my own advice too:highly_amused:

These are the five horses to avoid, as they're all profitable for me:

Appreciate It,
Power Of Pause,
Ballyadam,
Energumene,
Ferny Hollow.

If Eric Bloodaxe runs I'm in a world of pain unless he places :stupid:

It was unlikely that Eric Bloodaxe would of showed up here
The face that he finished lame on Saturday surely means there is absolutely no chance

Yes, my thought was he wouldn't run unless he hacked up last weekend.... but 5 pts e/w means I have to at least be aware of it :highly_amused:
 
Anyone fancy fliteur sacre? I liked his debut he finished very powerfully and maybe the one who won that race last time out (your darling) is as good as they say..id say hell bolt up tommorow
 
Hopefully Ballyadam is declared on Sunday so we can all see what he can do.. After that there are only three opportunities to run before entries are made:
Navan 16/2
Fairyhouse 22/2
Nass 23/2 (Winners of 2)

Are you planning on going to Cheltenham this year BOF?
 
No Ballyadam Sunday.

Cashed out myself, will wait on another entry.

Ferny Hollow runs!

Cheers for the update COD. I would be screwed without this place :)

Was from Twitter, but haven't seen the entries myself yet. Sorry, should have put that the first time.
 
Really hope hes learnt and they can settle him, he will be a different horse if they can
 
Head gear on...very unusual for Mullins but there’s a serious engine in the horse if it does the trick
 
Good looking bumper at Newbury today.

A mate noticed that Paddy Brennan was riding at Warwick today but then heads to Newbury to ride Fergals horse Brief Ambition in the bumper. Do we read much into that? 4th at Cheltenham behind Israel champ last time after winning on debut.

Edit - Fergal has a horse in the Warwick bumper hence mentioning this
