    Default favourite due to recency bias. Another Mullins one who wins well next probably end up favourite ;o)

    5/1 best price is absolutely shocking

    This race is one of the least tempting ante post heats I’ve ever seen

    A mullins big priced outsider will probably win

    He’s won easily, beating horses with Irish Point ratings of 86 and 89, only one of which actually won Between The Flags.

    He attracted ante-post support for the Champion Bumper before Saturday’s race, but whether or not that means he’s considered the best stable prospect for the race within the yard remains an unknown for me.

    I’d expect the 4.25 at Leopardstown at the DRF on Sunday, 5th February, to be illuminating in the pecking order department – the yard won it with Facile Vega and Kilcruit in recent years.

    Western Diego looked a powerful unit the other day
    Cheltenham, big field, decent pace will suit him

    Queens gamble runs in the rearranged listed bumper at market rasen tomorrow. There’s a couple of decent types in against her so interesting to see how she runs under a penalty.

    Yeah that’s not good.

    That could be a fair chunk of ante post money down the pan.

    She’s not ran for a while but if she was going to be winning at Cheltenham she should have been winning here regardless.

    I doubt she’s even gonna turn up there now.

    Queens Gamble wasn’t likely to be suited by a tight right handed track given her Cheltenham form. She bumped into a very, very good one today though. The Aintree Mares Bumper winner in fact (in my opinion).

    Cheltenham still the plan with Queens Gamble and O’ Brien has said his horse will go to Aintree.

    This makes me a happy person.

    14’s now the queen! Hmmmm. <strokes chin in pensive mood>

    What Champion Bumper winner doesn’t finish runner up at Market Rasen along the way?

    Rocket!

    Certainty!

    But not for me.

    Hahaha. Oh how I hope now for the queen to sit atop the champion bumper throne!

    If only to cause you to choke on your biscuits Ian :yahoo:

    You are no doubt correct though. I’m still coming to terms with the fact that my retirement bet from my yearly Cheltenham ante post stab is delayed by yet another year!
