    Bumpers

    I was very impressed with Tycoon Prince, yesterday's bumper winner at Fairyhouse.A half brother to Zuska and Puffin Billy, the Gigginstown/Elliott gelding quickened away from a good horse of Mullins in nice style. He is expected to go hurdling now.

    I had read yesterday that he might be put away until next season CL. Impressive for sure
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    You're probably right Granger, I'd heard before the race that he was expected to go hurdling this season.

    Big chaser type. Put him in your tracker and wait for next October.

    That Gigi horse who won't today has gears.

    Picked up like a good horse and looked a decent bumper.
    I'm clever enough to ask the questions i'm too stupid to answer

    I see Stone Hard running at Fairyhouse tomorrow for Gigginstown and Mullins.

    At Elliott's open day in October, Jamie Codd was asked to pick the best young pointer he'd ridden last season and he named this fellow.

    Thanks chroniclandlord as have been looking out for this one but missed the entry

    The last at Ascot today is interesting. Simon Squirrel has been well touted, but this looks tough with the King & Mullins horses

    The Balding horse looks a fair sort who took the last at Ascot. Now if he can jump!

    Being a Galileo he need not jump at all.
    His future could be on the flat.

    Kind of what I was hinting at
    You seen the size of him though. Wouldn't mind them popping him over a few to test the waters.

    The winner of the Champion Bumper has been sorted.

    And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."

    Law of averages says he resides at Closutton! I reckon he's at Pond House.

    I'd love to see Supasundae campaigned during the winter. I wouldn't want to be against him come March if he was.

    The Elliott horse who ran in that race is meant to be a Christmas banker.

    Make of that what you will...
