    Having just watched a repeat of the performance of Dr. Whizz from the Thomas Mullins yard when winning at Cork yesterday I thought it time to start a new post.

    I realise that between now and March there will be hundreds of potential champion bumper horses being introduced.However, he was very impressive and given that Cork is a flat fairly easy test I was impressed by his travelling speed and the ease which which he quickened.

    The race could prove to be a little weak but the yard expect Dr. Whizz to improve for a stiffer test and he certainly wouldn’t mind some juice in the ground.

    His current odds of 14-1 with Paddy Power are a bit cramped and it would be worth waiting a while for a few more to put down markers before getting involved as I am sure you will get a bigger price before Dr. Whizz runs again.

    Every chance that Dr Whizz might go hurdling in the next few weeks. Tom said that he’ll leave the decision up to JP.

    You wouldn’t have to look far to find a better prospect than him………Lucky William on the same card looked in a different class.

    Thought the Mullins horse looked very ordinary to be honest

    Some Slam will have another run in one of the Leopardstown bumpers at Christmas. If he wins he’ll be prepped for Cheltenham.

    Really impressed by his win down at Listowel. Katie could barely pull him up after he finished. Summit Meeting has done the form no harm.

    Dr Whizz holds an entry for a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on Saturday so that rules him out of the reckoning.

    Tom Mullins still has Some Slam for the top bumpers though and he holds an entry in what on paper looks to be a very informative bumper at Fairyhouse on Saturday. Some potentially very decent sorts provisionally entered up and it looks like it could well be the best bumper ran in Ireland so far this season.

    I’ll be staying loyal to Some Slam if he runs. The form of that Listowel bumper is working out very well.

    Runs in the bumper tomorrow, dare I say let him pay for Christmas?! No, i dare not! I remember another Weld inmate was hotly fancied on his initial run last season, Lead The Parade, but scoped badly after running a ashocker. Well, he made up for it anyway, but lets hope the Merchant will have nothing to make up for :wink:

    Some Slam will hopefully be out on Tuesday. Willie has two winners entered so it should be a good test of his credentials.

    Not a lot of bumpers horses stand out so far why do you guys think that is.

    Dr Whizz is another gone from the Bumper list having just won his maiden hurdle the only consolation being that I backed him at the very generous odds of 7-1!!!

    He looks like a smart recruit and seemed to have a bit in hand and will certainly be better over further.

    With regards the bumper picture you are right at this stage there aren’t any real stand outs. We could even see an English winner in 2010!

    Another one bites the dust!!

    Thats Some Slam’s chances over given a very disappointing performance. Beaten by over 20 lengths by one of Mullins lesser lights.

    I think Hurdling beckons now for Some Slam.

    What about Robbie from the Reveley stable who ran well in finishing second while running very green he has apparently improved hugely for his debut(as you would expect!)?
