wait for the currugh Bumper 070512

The racing today is pretty well after the lord mayor show and one horse that caught my eye in the multi line up for the day is in the bumper and I am keen on its chances at the current 30s betfair.(I actually expect it to go higher and is a cracking bet for the three places 
The animal absolutely slayed Howaboutnow  swinging off the bridle on g/soft ground when it was brought over from Ireland to Ayr. Crawford riding for his mum - Took keen hold, in touch, steady headway over 4f out, led over 2f out, pushed out final furlong, comfortably (tchd 11-2) not a whip layed on him at all very confident ride No pace early on and all bar the favourite were keen to get on with the job. YOUNG PALM, who has plenty of size and scope, travelled very strongly. He was travelling the better when moving upsides and came clear in the end for a smooth success. The first two were a long way clear and he is a good prospect. With the Irish bumper division very strong and dominated by the Willie Mullins yard he might well return to these shores.
Howaboutnow led all the way for an easy vicorty next time and then went for the aintree bumper 


He is up against it today but think his run was very underestimated by the pundits he has his ground and they have put him in against the more heavily fancied Mullins yard today which will also affect the market disproportionately based on ability. 


 Lee has some very interesting rides today on the flat but they must be watched for a gamble. 


Barzalona has the ride on Jamarjo for the 5.00 Kempton 2mile race it will have my money riding with it as it is a kempton AW horse tackling 2miles for the first time with at least 6lbs in and bred from Marju is a def staying type and breed  
 good luck today  see you on twitter

Whoever checks racehorse names in Ireland, they missed Xilobs God (runs in the 5.10 at Down Royal, noted by @rpdarkhorse). Read it backwards
