And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."
Garrison Savannah too?

Any idiot can say that about an immature 4 year old but let them say it about a 6 year old.
Look back at your Arkle winners or your Feltham winners and try and find one that ran in any sort of bumper at 6 years of age.
The potential simply isn't there and if it was they would have run a lot sooner
Over the last 10 years excluding last year on which the jury is still out the best horse I can remember who ran at 6 in the Bumper was On His Own
He actually won a chase at 7 years old under Brian Hughes at Musselburgh.
Silver Concorde won the race at 6 and is probably as good as he was then but that is a rariity
Moon Race was thought good enough to run in the CH but has been dogged by injury and to me is over faced to the hilt by Pipe.

I take it Patrick still gets the choice does he?
Mister Fisher at Kempton tomorrow is supposed to be a steering job.

Anthony Honeyball could swerve Aintree with Champion Bumper fourth Acey Milan.The five-year-old is eligible to run in the Grade Two Weatherbys Racing Bank Standard National Flat Race on April 13, but the Mosterton handler fears it could be one run too many and might even draw stumps for the season.
Honeyball said: "We've had a look at the small print and he does qualify to run in the race, but he's been busy and he has not missed a beat this season.
"I will talk to the owners, but I think it is unlikely he will run and it is very much on the back-burner. I imagine he won't run again this season.
"He has won three of his five bumpers and to finish fourth in the Champion Bumper was a good effort.
"Turning in, they just quickened up and got five lengths on him. I thought he would be sixth or seventh, but he stuck on well to be fourth."
Honeyball plans to send Acey Milan over hurdles next season and has already earmarked the Grade One Challow Hurdle at Newbury in December as a first major target.
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
I'm not giving up on Didthyeleavuoutto and can see him running a big race in one of the other festival bumpers on better ground
He's a bit of a talking horse, but Danny Kirwan is also one to watch out for at Aintree after bolting up at Kempton late last month
Agreed about Didtheyleaveyououttoo.
