Bumper entries not till first week in march , Raise the Beats owners have indicated that the cheltenham bumper is their target.
|

By:
I take it he must be on your radar giving your previous post ?
|
|
By:
 whos the muppet |
|
By:
yes, liked the way that he won in Naas, not a bad race and won it very easily , just wondering what others think.
|
|
By:
The winner of this (if he runs in it, you never know with this) runs on Sunday at Market Rasen.
|
|
By:
No Chelt bumper winner there imo
|
|
By:
Agree with you BJG, that was a hard race in soft going, just over 3 weeks to Cheltenham, it would be a good horse to come out of that and win the bumper.
|
|
By:
a little dissaponted with my persian snow and the bumper is gone now for him but he wasant given a great ride as usual and he,ll be a much much better horse on some decent ground and over hurdles dont give up on him
|
|
By:
surely nicky henderson would have a bumper winner somewhere in his outfit if he discarded his dislike for the race
|
|
By:
the lack of top bumper horses from the mullins/meade yard is this season is staggering,especially when compared to previous seasons
|
|
By:
Henderson's Ericht is a real Champion bumper type. Hendo does not like the race but he think's the horse is the only real horse he's had for the race. That is saying something to me.
|
|
By:
i think nicky might just have a few better ones tucked away for spring time
|
|
By:
Yes but I doubt he will run them in Champion Bumper Alvarado. They are probably very talented. I love tour dargent got to be the best looking horse ever. But he's only 4 I think.

I rate Fingal Bay as the most impressive bumper winner i have seen all season, especially on debut, staggering performance. Fingers crossed the horses behind him confirm the form, as he looked awesome. Must have every chance of running now, after the lacklustre run of Persian Snow. Would have been amazed if Fingal Bay wasn't the better of the 2 anyway, but time will tell. Their is nothing outstanding from Ireland this season, which seems strange. Maybe the past weather, has had some sort of impact.
|
|
By:
Winner not declared for Sunday, now runs Tuesday.
|
|
By:
Agree re Fingal's, though i'm always a bit wary of wide margin bumper winners on bottomless ground.
|
|
By:
oh i know that masterminded he never runs his best ones at cheltenham anyway but barry sed in his column last week that ericht would be a good guide as to how strong there bumper horses were this season believing me to think that they think ERICHT is good but not in there top 3
|
|
By:
that mono man battled well yesterday, 20s could be big come the festival !
|
|
By:
owners have ericht so I think he may be goin Aintree
|
|
By:
mono man out to 30 now, still looks big , i nderstand what masterminded has said but they can still have 2 runners in it,
|
|
By:
Can't remember a weaker bumper field in recent years...usually at least 3 or 4 potential superstars in the mix by now. I wonder if Knight Pass remains value around 9/1...might not have beaten much but at least the form's in the book.
|
|
By:
Samain was impressive yesterday imo, beat a field of winners.
|
|
By:
Donald McCains EBANOUR running tomorrow at Wetherby. Purchased from the Aga Khan for 120k by Tim Leslie.
He is regally bred. I've noticed he is being backed for the Champion Bumper, is as low as 12s with one firm. Is the Champ about to reveal himself! Took 33s with SJ just in case! |
|
By:
must win that race by a furlong worst bumper ive ever seen run at wetherby
|
|
By:
id have absolutely no interest in backing in the bumper at the moment as ive no idea whose goin etc but a horse i do like is HIT THE HEADLINES, was really impressed by his bumper win. its a minefield, keep your money in your pocket until the day.
|
|
By:
Ebanour wins by 8 lengths and has been cut into as short as 10's with Freds, but can get 16's with boils and Korals
|
|
By:
Thanks Beryl.
|
|
By:
wouldnt be in a rush to back mccains bumper winner.
|
|
By:
I agree, but it is so hard to tell how much they will improve from one race to the next, he showed signs of greeness today.
Samain is the one for me, if a confirmed runner. |
|
By:
Look no further than Keys. Form working out well. Great value at 14/1.
|
|
By:
Samain is the one for me too Sintonian...I thought he was very impressive... do you think he will run?
|
|
By:
Samain for me too at this (late) stage.
|
|
By:
Trainer wants to travel - owner is reluctant^
|
|
By:
I think Samain is one for the future. Really like the way he moves. If he does indeed come over I will definitly be with this chap.
At a big price I still think Bygones In Brid is a good bet at 45's on here. He was 2nd in what Alan King described today as a very hot bumper and ran very green again. The full article will be very good IMO and trainer said if he continues to impress at home he will run in the bumper. I can't have Mccains horse at all after that run today. |
|
By:
re mccains horse. i wont be backing it as i said b4. his first run wasnt too desimilar to cue cards. hes bred to like much better ground and will def come on for his first run. i wouldnt be put off
|
|
By:
I'm happy enough with Ebanour's run. I'm on at 65 for a fun bet, and that was nice enough. Just need him to go to Cheltenham and not Aintree now!
|
|
By:
Eyes peeled Sunday. Waaheb could be a real tool.
|
|
By:
I wasn't really impressed with Ebanour's debut.
I had heard that the stable thought the world of him so was expecting more. I acknowledge that the ground was bad and he was very green but he just didn't impress. He's going to need to improve hugely on that effort to be competitive at Cheltenham. |
