Champion Bumper ‘25

Early markets up for the DRF. Those who like Amen Kate should like her current price. Probably be better cashing out Cheltenham and putting it on her at the DRF, and if she wins, roll it on her new price.

Future Prospect will win for me but done cover on Amen Kate to win my DRF and Cheltenham stake back on Future Prospect. Hope we see her settle better and show us a proper performance.

Do you think they'd definitely go to Cheltenham with Future Prospect?

Think I read in the stable tour they'd very much targeted this race at the DRF for her .... and then would they maybe keep her back for the Mares bumpers and farm them?

Not looked at historical results yet

No idea. Think they'll see how she gets on. She was similar NRNB and antepost few weeks ago so I've done NRNB. She's their best chance IMO. I think Patrick can't do the weight on the Mares IIRC in the Cheltenham bumper so could be a potential Townend ride.

Bit of a blessing in disguise

I've got her at 14 but just added 10s NRNB



Similar to the comments above I've just had the scatter gun out .... -3.7 pts net from cashout so far for the race which actually isn't as bad as I thought it'd be

I might be missing some failed TWAF though in that, not checked....and who cares :eagerness:
 
No Kalypso'chance in the Future Stars bumper at the DRF.
 
That's odd. It's Gordon's well trodden path Navan in mid-December - DRF - Cheltenham. There's nowhere else to run, so it must be straight there, or else there's been an issue.

Classical Creek spat him out on the gallops so they've decided to retire him :highly_amused:

.... and then I woke up.
 
Gordon keeping all his dreams alive.
Often does this.
Except when he’s sure he has a proper horse.

So Classical Creek or He can't Dance now ​​​​​​his number 1


That happens to be the only two Bumper horses I've backed.....:cheerful:
 
How long until jockey bookings show up on HRI?

Koktail Brut would've been my second favourite of Gordon's. Let's see who the Cygnet chooses.
 
He CAN dance....
 
The lads from TAP podcast were on a preview the other night & thought Kalypso wouldn’t run at DRF - Dec was keen on He Can’t Dance - who he said has been gelded since last run (was an entire on first run) so improvement expected - link to preview below for those interested

Money for He Can't Dance since the declarations.

Hill went 14's into 12's now into 9's.

Ladbrokes 20's, can be boosted to 22's, for those that want to risk him being 'the one'.

He was an early talking horse, too.

Another case of the next off the conveyor..

He looked a slow thing on his debut. Didn't Gordon say he was next year's horse? Appreciate the gelding might have had some effect.
