Anyone heard anything about this one?

Won his bumper in Punchestown this time last year and was due to run in the Cheltenham Champion Bumper but missed it through injury I think. Wasn’t mentioned in the Willie Mullins stable tour in the RP.

Mullins says “He’s a real chaser in the making but he’ll start off novice hurdling and it would appear he might be best suited in the staying division. He looks a good start.”

[thehorsesmouth]

Thanks for that Mark. Good to know all is well with him, was one of the favourites for the Champion Bumper at one stage.

Yes.
Spent a couple of days going through Mullins likely festival runners and it’s incredible the firepower he has.

Within the next 6-8 weeks many of the prices will drop. I’m thinking Champagne Fever will end up in the Jewson.

[thehorsesmouth]

If I had to call it now I’d say Champagne Fever will go for the Arkle and Felix Yonger will go Jewson, but they’re both versatile regarding trip so they could go either way.

[MarkTT]

Depends on Ricci’s other novice chasers. CF is also bred to stay further

Entered in five maiden hurdles from 2m to 2m 6f next week.

Entered in the first race at Leopardstown on Thursday, a 2m 2f maiden hurdle. Looks a penalty kick.

[MarkTT]

Yeah. Looking forward to seeing CC run this season. Be nice if there were a true pace on for his debut

[theinsideman]

Hopefully he’ll put on a show today. It’s been a long wait to see him again.

[MarkTT]

Can only improve, i guess. Obvious now why such a low key start.

[thehorsesmouth]

Very underwhelming wasn’t it. Jumped very deliberately too but even so I would liked to have seen him be a bit more impressive than that.

[theinsideman]

Jumped like a big chaser. Very disappointing in victory.

[thehorsesmouth]

Out tomorrow in a novice hurdle at Thurles. He’s stepping up to 2m 6f which should see him in a better light as he has plenty of stamina by the looks of his Leopardstown run. Hopefully he’ll jump better tomorrow because if he does he’ll make 6/4 look pretty big imo.

[MarkTT]

Hardly a natural, is he ?

Work in progress and at the moment he’s unlikely to contest one of the conditions races at the festival, if he goes at all.

Mullins earmarking Albert Bartlet

[thehorsesmouth]

Jumped the first two/three huge but he got better as the race went on. His main market rival Festive Felon ran no race so the form probably isn’t worth much but he was impressive all the same.
