I love Bumpers, usually see more there that's useful and/or interesting. Thought Prince Llewellyn ran a really good race being a typical gangly 4 year old by Schiaparelli, most of them don't have the speed for Bumpers, and he was doing all his best work in the last 2 furlongs.
Malone Road is Festival doubt
Formely Fist of Fury
Envoi Allen out tomorrow
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Looks like neither of Envoi or Malone Road will make Cheltenham.
Envoi being saved for next term and maybe Punchestown for Malone

Dermot Weld hasn't had a good bumper horse for a while. Long evenings must have gotten to him
Looks like he'll never run on a jumps card again either

Blue Sari fairly routed his field in Gowran bumper.
Bit of a talking horse but GE and Mcmanus introduce Andy Dufrense in the bumper at Downpatrick today

That was a straightforward win, never in the slightest doubt, the only negative being he pulled and had to be let make the running.
Last season I included a horse called Amen Korner in the list for the Forum TTF, having received a favourable comment or two from someone in the know, but for whatever reason he has never run. He is a full brother to Augusta Kates and I see he is entered in a bumper at Thurles next Thursday. May not be much of a price as he's trained by WPM.
Graham Wylie was interviewed about 18 months ago on TFF podcast and said to look out for this horse but he was unnamed at the time IIRC

Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."
I think Envoi Allen will likely have the brightest long term future but wouldn't back him for this

If anybody wants a nice angle this far out, my west country roots tell me that Master Debonair is rated extremely highly by the Tizzards.
