    I’d agree that Good Boy Bobby looks a smashing prospect, and he deserves his place near the head of the market. That was very impressive at Chepstow.

    The one who made my early shortlist, Nearly Man, who’s in the same ownership as Bobby, has his second outing tomorrow at Thurles. Don’t know if the owners would want two in this, and surely Bobby will be their #1 hope, but I’m hoping to see enough from Nearly Man that would justify an entry, and also an early introduction the market.

    Quite impressed with Seddon at Musselburgh on Sunday, and he’s a decent price at the moment, at around 50’s

    Is Stay Humble likely to turn up here? He doesn’t appear to be entered in any races other than the Cheltenham Bumper. Has anyone heard anything? i.e. is it likely he’ll turn up without a run?

    I am going to guess he’s not going to make it….he will get a run before/after Chelt and head to punchestown and do the same as Yorkhill/Invitation Only…

    Just a guess.

    RE Stay Humble – if everything goes ok he will make his debut this month, Cheltenham is still the plan but because of the time scales involved he is probably not very likely to get there. Bit annoying as i backed him at 20/1

    My Champion Bumper fancy is running in the last at Exeter today: Time To Move On. I’m on at 20s and that’s still available in a few places this morning.

    I’ll be mightily disappointed if he can’t shoulder the penalty and hack up even if the conditions are mire-like. Hopefully he scoots up under Geraghty and shortens for the festival.

    Stay Humble is entered at Fairyhouse on Saturday! He may just turn up here if he runs well. Here’s hoping.

    Interesting that giggy seem to be sending a few for this again. Not sure they can make their mind up on their opinion on the race!

    See Fergal O’Brien’s interview on ATR yesterday – its on their website

    Think there is a good chance it doesn’t turn up

    Not a race to go mad on, and I’ll bet Didtheyleaveyoutoo, or Time To Move On, on the day, but I have went for Seddon now, who impressed me at Musselburgh. I think he’s better than a 50-1 shot, and he’ll do for me.

    Ffs.

    As you can see from my OP, I was keen on him.

    Had him, cracking Smart and ITCF pulled out in the last fortnight now.

    Tornado Flyer’s a springer in the market. Flemensfirth half brother to Hurricane Fly. Think I read somewhere Ruby had a good word to say about him too.

    EDIT – Not half brother sorry. The dam is a half brother.

    I like Seddon and The Big Bite but Didtheyleaveuoutto looks very classy.
    7/1 in a big competitive field at the Cheltenham Festival may look tight but such is his style I’ve had to get stuck in.

    If it stays heavy/soft then I think Thebannerkingrebel comes into contention,in my opinion.

    BlueSky @pghenn.bsky.social

    So don't run, just like the others always do
