Champion Bumper ‘25

Bad luck for Pipey... Windbeanthmywings out... as per his twitter post just now.
 
Windbeneathmywings had a setback, will be missing the festival.
 
Put it in here but has no impact on the Cheltenham bumper.

The Docs bumper at Gowran Park is this Saturday.

Willie has Ksar Fatal and Hank West (PTP winner, Gigginstown owned) entered. HDB has Kings Bucks (PTP winner who beat a half brother to Sky Pirate and Captain Teague). Cromwell has a couple of unraced ones and Elliott has Ma Jacks Hill and Theflyingking entered.

Most famous for being Bob Olinger and Yorkhills debut race under rules. Port Joulain won last year, Tullyhill the year before and some other decent horses have won it so can be a good race to follow for Cheltenham next year.

No Jalom D'Oudaries. At least Future Prospect wasn't entered so get that money back.
 
Townend on Gameofinches. Kennedy on Kalypso. Swan on He Can't Dance. Walsh on Aqua Force. Patrick not yet jocked up but looking like it will be Copacabana as probably won't do the weight on Bambino Fever

This is maybe a real out there one given the connections, but El Cairos was givien a very positive shout i saw yesterday. Could be pie in the sky but seems to want the likely conditions underfoot tomorrow where maybe some of the Irish fancies might not. I thought it was interesting at 33s last time i looked.

Don't get me wrong he wouldnt be anyones favourite obviously, but the favourite in the race is ridden by someone who wouldnt be many peoples 1st choice either. You're probably right though its a mad shout ou,t when i heard i i was a bit shocked.

I am probably being unfair. He isn't as bad as an Adrian Heskin but he isn't near the level required. Funny riding style but he can get horses up. I just had a look at the horse properly. He wouldn't be for me but it's a completely unexposed race that i will be throwing a few wild arrows at before it starts. Sortudo is a guaranteed one as it's the lowest ranked Mullins horse, the others i will just guess. :nevreness:

EL CAIROS (Gary & Josh Moore) was a narrow winner of his point-to-point for Sean Doyle last spring before being bought for €200,000 on behalf of owner/rider David Maxwell. Despite being a half-brother to staying chaser Wasdell Dundalk, the No Risk At All gelding showed terrific acceleration to win on his Rules debut in a bumper at Newbury (Good) in November.
Following his six lengths victory, Gary Moore commented: “El Cairos was impressive and he's a nice horse. He's always shown that at home, but the proof is in the pudding here today and it was a rare turn of foot.” The statistics courtesy of Race Iq suggest it was a taking display – he hit a top speed of 37.84mph and covered two of the last three furlongs in 12.15 and 12.03 seconds. Evidently blessed with a lethal turn of foot, he reportedly worked very well under Jamie Moore at Lingfield earlier this week.
His jockey is factored into the price but there are no obstacles to be jumped and his stable, who have sent out 8 winners in the last fortnight, trained Authorised Speed to finish fifth in this behind Facile Vega in 2022.

I wouldn't want to put anyone off of this horse but a bit of context to these final sectionals.
The first 4f's of that race were run at an average of around 18.5 secs. They had got up to the rattling pace of an average around 15 second furlongs from 1mile -4f out.

So it was basically a 4 furlong race.
Which the bumper wont be.
Im not saying he cant win just adding context.

Finally! Didn't back as much as I thought but not the first time the bumper has saved my bacon and made me much more positive going forward. Karoline Banbou delivering in the MNH to complete a double would really make me happier
 
Kalypsochance running no race after hammering heads up in the pre Christmas bumper - what more can you do aye

It was poor anyway aside from the winner IMO.
The only one with proper graded form wins.
The Dublin geldings race result showed that none of them were that good.

Gordon clearly thought his were shite which is why he was thinking of bringing Jalon along and ducked Dublin with Kalypso.
And Mullins was just throwing any old shite at it in February - winning late season bumpers that probably weren't all that.
