Champion Bumper ‘25

…..Mullins;

’Looking at the winners of this race over the years it has produced some very nice horses and I’m hoping we have one such horse on Sunday. He won his point-to-point for Paul Cashman and I’m looking forward to getting this fellow out on the track for Professor Caroline Tisdall. He looks a real chasing type.​

I was very impressed with the way Copacabana won his bumper in Navan, he looked a real old chasing type, a big, strong horse who came clear in testing conditions. It looked a deep bumper from pre-race chat. He will be one of our leading lights for the race at Cheltenham.​‘

Bayoffreedom thanks for heads up. Noted it has moved already from the 50-s to mid 30-1 now. I imagine it’s going to crash further once this is made official publicly
 
The 25/1 nrnb would be the much safer option, the 50s was worth the risk ante post but the 33s isn't really.

With him moving yards trainers can sometimes want to give them tine to settle in to a new way of training before running them, might depend on who the owner is and how keen they are to go to Cheltenham.
 
Ksar Fatal entered in the "Ferny Hollow" bumper this Saturday.
 
Went and safe and cashed him and backed with NRNB, Ferny had had 3(?) runs before this as opposed to seasonal debut.
 
Cardcounter who was 2nd to Ksar Fatal in their PTP has won a hurdle race today.

Doesn't look like we'll see Ksar Fatal either unless he goes straight there with no run.

Not allowed to go straight there for the bumper.
If that's what you meant ?
 
Ksar Fatal........ make a decision to back TWAF after he's declared, or take the NRNB price now

and then I can stop reading about his entries and non declarations :glee: :love_heart:
 
Never saw it but see he's been slashed into fav most places! Was he good?

I'd have that a more impressive victory than Copacabana's. Begorra Man (in second) ran to an RPR of 117 in a maiden hurdle over Christmas and he's beaten him with any amount in hand. I liked that.
 
Gameofinches Finally a bumper horse I can get excited about :indecisiveness: If he wins I might break even :glee:

He was pretty impressive then.... unlike Patrick not to push him to the line.... not sure I like that though, means he's 'good' but what will happen when they ask for effort when it matters ... and so unlikely not to need to come off the bridle in 'the big one'
