Champion Bumper 2020

Mullins runner we haven’t seen yet Five Bar Brian is entered.

Sure Scooby has backed him for this.

Might be worth getting on side while at 33/1.
 
Won at Fairyhouse beating a well-fancied unraced horse of Noel Meade's - pair well clear. Difficult to know how to read the form - time nothing special.

Just noticed that BOF and have backed him.

Thought he hadn’t been seen yet but fact he is one entered definitely worth a chance.
 
Just backed the only French trained entry Genola 1 Pt. ew @ 50/1 B365 NRNB.
She had a sighter of the course on New Years day when she finished a close up 3rd behind Audacity and Ocean Wind over 1ml 6f. Ocean Wind won by 8l next time out in a Newbury listed race (Audacity disappointed in last). In 4th place at Chelt. was Grand Roi whoo went on to win 2 hurdles and given an OR of 144.
The filly looked like she was crying out for the extra 2 1/2f she will get in March and I fancy her to turn the form round with Ocean Wind (14/1 for the Bumper)
A change of jockey would be appreciated!

Added - forgot to say that she will be getting 4yo allowance and fillies allowance ( the same as Panic Attack )

Needless to say I can't resist going back in on Darling Daughter at 25s and now am way too heavily invested in this bumper :highly_amused:
 
JOB on Fire Attack
[FONT=&quot]We gave him an entry in the Champion Bumper, but I’d say he’s probably an unlikely runner. If it came up very soft, we’d be tempted to run, but other than that he’s likely to stay at home.[/FONT]
 
I backed The Glancing Queen for this last year and had backed her for the mares novice this year so am a big fan, but I couldn't back her now with the prep shes had.
 
Bits of blue for Eskylane of Gordons (general 14/1 now)

Think Queens Brook is the one for Gordon. Apparently Codd has been begging Gordon to let her line up for the race. He's ridden most of Gordon's bumper horses too. All the 12s vanished today so I'm thinking she was confirmed by connections to travel.
 
Any news on Ferny Hollow running here? Last I read Mullins was uncertain whether to bring him.
 
Power of Pants.

1.01 that I back him Any Race for 2021 :highly_amused:

DC – Our lad will take all the beating, he has a huge engine (Appreciate It) , the forms there and the 13/8 wouldn’t stop me betting him. we were surprised by Panic Attack's win, id near fancy Ferny Hollow over her.

Bumper. DC Appreciate pace, stamina, laid back. We love him. Saves all for the track. One to beat. ‘I’ll back him at 13/8.’ Ferny runs, depends what mood he’s in. Enigma. Can be too keen.
 
IB three runners Codd on Queens Brook, soft, good chance. Won 20l in a furlong last time. Lisa on D Daughter. Davy, Eskylane.

Gordons assistant confirming the above for the bumper.
 
Thrilled Eskylane is back on the boat.

:applause:
