Finally, a pin sticker for next year’s Champion Bumper. The trend analysis of previous races suggest that the winner has yet to see a racecourse and that the favourite is still buried deep in the bowels of the Willie Mullins yard in Carlow. Despite this there was a lot to like about the debut of Crooks Peak at Newton Abbot last month. Trained by Philip Hobbs and stoutly bred by Arcadio out a Milan mare, he won easily and looks the sort that will strengthen and improve with time.
Ahem....

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