Champion Bumper ‘25

…Ksar Fatal shortening across the boards, still 20-1 365 (can be boosted 20%).
 
Anyone know who the owner is ?

….presume he’s been sold but it looks like jockey Rob James and trainer Donnchadh Doyle ‘owned him together’ when he won his P2P in Oct.

Patrick says a couple of words and the horses odds plummet. Much rather bet Future Prospect at the odds. Won't have Patrick on board at Cheltenham you wouldn't have thought because of the weight so hopefully a decent ride for Townend as long as she passes the DRF test.
 
Out of interest, when has patrick mullins ever nominated a bumper horse to follow that turned out to be "the one".
last year his one to watch was petit secret. Willie himself actually has a decent record whenever he puts forward one to watch, majborough, kaid dauthie, galopin, facile vega etc. Patrick on the other hand, I wouldn't have much interest.

Agreed he gave Petit Secret last year and Cest Ta Chance both not up to it.

Facile Vega he did on one of those racing post shows with keals and Dave orton
 
Just pulled the trigger on Amen Kate. 14/1 with WH boosted to 15.3/1 NRMB.

I thought Willie was the one who broke the news at a Gala dinner evening about a bumper horse yet to be named (by Walk in the park and Quevega) that “took his eyes out”

Patrick May then have made the horses name Public though

First I ever heard of him was when willie apparently nominated him at some awards thing or something. I'm pretty sure that was his first mention as I remember everyone on here talking about him off the back of that. Whether patrick was first though I can't be certain.
 
I see Theflyingking has entry at Navan this weekend. He’s one I could see come on plenty for his first run in what looked an above average bumper at Down Royal on Stephens Day. He’ll definitely appreciate a lot more cut than he had up north.

I think he’d have won by a length or so if he hadn’t hung left in the last 100 yards. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the winner that day Kilwaughter be snapped up by the double green being with the Crawfords.

33/1 NRNB WH isn’t bad value for connections that may want to go one better than Romeo did last year in the race. Hopefully he’s declared tomorrow & we get a chance to see him again anyway.

As Future Prospect is owned by Mrs John Magnier, rather than Townend, could they consider one of their retained flat riders, for either the DRF or in turn the festival ?
