Cheltenham Bumper 2019

[delsie777]

Just added Daylight Katie NRNB, times look good and the price is decent.

And has the Mares allowance - and Dunsden not yet jocked up which you might have thought he would be if he was definitely riding it himself. That said, he gave her an uncharacteristically good ride last time. Hopefully she's just so good even he looked good on her!

Quite happy in this race now, although I never do well normally so I am due haha

Me too :highly_amused:

Plenty of NR's but cashed Envoi Allen for a profit so starting at -2.5 pts only

Left with these live:

Blue Sari - 9/1 - 2 pts win
Meticulous - 33/1 - 1 pt e/w
Master Debonair - 33/1 - 1 pt e/w
Daylight Katie - 56.5/1 - 1 pt e/w
Abracadabras - 25/1 - 1 pt e/w


....but all I want to do is back Get In The Queue :very_drunk:

 

[Stormez]

Do it Kev. You’ll have the forecast then with Master Debonair!

I don't really want to be backing anything at single figures in this race to be honest.

Blue Sari was boosted to 9/1 which was just about double his price so I did take that.... but 5/1 is shoooortish.


I could just put all the inevitable free bets on that I'll inevitably get :highly_amused:

Nice book Kev, got Get in the Queue left on my unbacked list at the moment but may do him on the day.

Put everyone away with that.

 

[bobbyvalentino]

Put everyone away with that.

Oooosh id say some burnt fingers there.

 

[Kevloaf]

Well I've gotten lucky there.... although obviously would have been NRNB!

 

[kinloch brae]

Put everyone away with that.

The possibility of that happening was mentioned at the Scottish preview a couple of nights ago.

 

[Stormez]

Another one bites the dust! Down to Master Debonair & The Glancing Queen now.

Donnacha rides Meticulous for Joseph!

Great call by whoever it was about 40 pages ago that they’d use a flat jockey on him.

 

[cpfcpatriot]

Also taken this. Joey to get a flat jockey for the bumper?

Found it. Well played.

I think this is JOB most likely winner. He is a flat trainer at heart imo.

Destined for greatness.


Do the flat jockeys have a decent record in the bumper?

The only thing I can recall is them saying how rough it is... and that's a very general *they* - I don't know who I mean.

 

[mayo]

Pizzaroo under Jamie Spencer last flat jockey ridden winner (2002).

Rite of Passage third in 2009 under Pat Smullen.

Jospeh 17th in 2013 on 16/1 shot.

Excellent. I said it half in jest but delighted with that booking.

 

[Kevloaf]

I'm buzzing about Meticulous - feel like this is the best chance I've ever had in the bumper

Master Debonair wins it still

I hope you're right Kev. They are my two and I ain't adding another.
