Champion Bumper - BHA ratings

Bumper ratings are never published and indeed don't exist normally. The handicapper only gives ratings for the Championship races and they are only for elimination purposes.

With only 25 declared for the Bumper, of which 24 can run, they may not bother this year. But if they do the ratings will be available on the entries page on the admin website later today.

I'll try to publish them here when that happens.

Thanks Anorak - much appreciated.

Re the Divapour thread, when can we expect to see you turn up for interview at Stamford Bridge?

The horse that would be eliminated if all 25 were declared is Glenwood Present, rated 104.

The top four in the ratings are:

Moscow Mannon  137
Champagne Fever  136
Clonbanan Lad  134
Sir Johnson  132

then a gap to the next highest, with three horses rated 127.

Just So,

As a lifelong Spurs fan, I reckon I'd be perfect for Chelsea. I'd use a sort of reverse Harry Redknapp approach.

Put my arm round Torres shoulder (he'd have to bend down a bit) and tell him "Look son, you're total rubbish and getting worse by the week, so just go out and run around a bit, try your best and see if you can score more goals than my Sandra"

v good sir!! thanks for those ratings, much appreciated.
