    They must be softening in their attitude, they had Stone Hard in it last year as well.

    They were very positive today. Have to think something awry. Certainly it was clear from early on that the horse was not in comfortable place. We shall see as they are an open and honest yard.

    The bumper at Listowel tomorrow is one taht should throw up a good horse

    JP has a fair looking horse with Willie and Pat Fahy's horse should be good
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Not something I typically associate with him, particularly this early, but Nicholls has sent out 4 very, very impressive bumper winners already. Silver Forever has hacked up there.

    She looked smart didn't she?

    Malone was at that point in Bartlemy and bought both winners from the four year old maidens for Colm Donlon.

    Ask For Glory is the other still to run.

    Column of Fire out tomorrow. Someone near the stable told me they think a lot of him

    Malone Road, COF, Fury Road, Feel my Pulse, Envoi Allan and Commander of Fleet the ones to note

    Commander of Fleet entered for the Royal Bond. He could be some tool.

    Commander of Fleet entered in two 2m bumpers, a 2m maiden hurdle and a 2m 4f maiden hurdle over the weekend. Good luck to anybody trying to bet him ante post for anything...

    Big 2 talked of Irish bumper horses clash in the last today. Market has WPM horse fav, he would want to be plenty smart to meet the Elliott horse

    I'm not really into bumpers, even come the festivals, but I sometimes check out superficially fast races on good cards.

    I'm coming up with pretty impressive time figures for the Ascot bumper last Saturday won by Hazzaar from Prince LLywelyn. It also looks like the winner defied a pace that should have suited those racing more prominently.
