Champion Bumper ‘25

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 ?

Imagine the antepost market collapse if they confirmed Ryan Moore will ride her.

Didn't Osin (sic) Murphy ride in last years bumper? or was supposed to do?

Possibly. Think they need a NH license though and I can't remember the last time a flat jockey rode in it (granted Oisin might ride in it this year).

Licences are issued by code, so yes any flat pilot wanting to ride will need a NH licence, pretty much a formality as they're not hard to get.
Most flat pilots are in Dubai at that time of year though....

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.

I really like Kilwaughter and Theflyingking for this. I’d say there’s no risk in the NRNB.

I thought Kilwaughter would be purchased privately by the double green too, but he’s off to the sales on 25th Jan.

Going back to their race Kilwaughter had much the easier passage hugging the the rail all the way & getting the gap up the inside when he needed it, Theflyingking covered way more ground running 4 or 5 wide most of the way, that coupled with his hanging antics has me marking the run up more than the winners. I’d say they could both develop into good types going forward though.

RPR ratings of 118 & 119 are pretty decent first time out for this years bunch too.

Jesus. Didn't see that coming. Has that ever happened before? A repeat runner.
 
Sine Qua Non declared at Navan on Saturday to be ridden by Derek O’Connor and owned by JP. Won his P2P at Lingstown in November by 48 lengths, receiving an RPR of 97, the highest of the season so far. The 2nd in the P2P, Loaded And Locked, won a P2P over the weekend.​ Might be of interest in a race where nothing is screaming out so far. Might be worth a little wager. Thoughts ?

….40-1 PP/SB the best available, 25-1 NRNB. Interesting if those prices shorten.

Spinningayarn finally declared after getting a pre-season mention by Brian Acheson. Notice William Munny won the race last year, could be a decent little contest.

Does JP put many in the Bumper ? No entries in 2022 and 2024. 1st and 2nd in 2023.
 
If you're betting on JPs, I'd say do NRNB. I'm surprised they've got him out so quickly.

Whoever wins this will be a nice horse - good race.
