Cheltenham Bumper 2019

Because most of the schooling bumpers were cancelled, even the trainers aren't too sure of a pecking order.
 
Andy D bolts in, worth the wait. Not sure what the others were like but a very eye catching performance for me. Looks to have bags of potential.
 
Gordon seemed fairly positive cheltenham would be considered for big Andy D,
the I'll have to speak to the owners it's a horse for the future stuff also chucked in

Good stuff, I have been going on about him for ages but was worried it was getting too late. Nice to see him and to see him being very impressive, Cut to 12s. I am on at 33s and 25s so far.
 
Don't know why Blue Sari has been passed over so swiftly on here

For me, it's not so much passing him over, it's jsut this race as a whole is so tough ante-post.

There isn't an angle or edge in terms of runners or it cutting up, we're likely to have a max field.

The best we've seen is injured (Malone Road)

Mullins seemed surprised at how good Blue Sari was, saying his work was "dour" - if that's the case, he must have better at home and although it's brilliant to "do it on the track", it'd make you think perhaps he isn't the best he has...

and if I backed every horse that looked good in this race, over the course of the season, it'd be absolutely impossible to come out ahead.



Blue Sari looked superb, I am more impressed that I was at the time - but I'm almost expecting Mullins to have some better than him, and with the nagging doubt that he ONLY beat his own age group, the form is really hard to get too excited by just yet?
 
365 sticking their necks out a bit at 12s with Andy D, can’t see it lasting
 
Too many unknowns for this race yet for me to get stuck in to Andy, as impressive as he was.

He will likely run given he's own by jp.

I think Mullins does have a better one than that. Her form is right up there with the boys.

Took a bit of a keen hold and looked to wander a bit when clear.

No idea what the form is worth... definitely needs another run though so likely to be more polished next time.

A nice bet, well done.
 
Im very interested to see what Patrick rides on Sunday.

Yeah like you say Kev its hard to know about most of the form for this race and I never seem to find the winner. I have Envoi, Glory & Fortune and this fella for this race now all at decent prices. Not sure if the first 2 will run. I will probably wait now.

I still want to see The Very Man run again tbh.
 
Elliot said he would have one more run before they put him away over a month ago.

Was gonna say this. Gordon holds the bumper in zero regard doesn't he. That being said with MR out is there not a small chance that changes their plans?

Well done Jon, Elliot said he's as good as the other 2 he sent out so you look all set. Be careful with the very man. Giggi owned.

Thanks Scoob, the other was Thunder Down Under which won the other week, hes entered up at the weekend as well but he doesn't seem as forward as the others.
