We have two unknowns in the Goffs Defender Bumper, a race that's been good to us over the years. Hopefully one of these two might fly the flag for us. But it's going to be a tough race by all accounts. Jody Townend rides Milo Lises.
Patrick Mullins rides Predators Gold and he's been pleasing me in his work. He is a Masked Marvel gelding and he's owned by Gigginstown House Stud. We hope at least one of our pair can make their presence felt.
He was third in Fairyhouse and Paul thinks that he needs the longer trip. He'll go on the ground and we've put a tongue-tie on which might benefit him.
Sir Gerhard is our top-rated horse in here and he ran very well at Fairyhouse. He comes back here a little quick but there isn't anything else left for him this season. Patrick got a great tune out of him and he jumped well, I was a little bit disappointed that he didn't pick up a little better which doesn't bode well going up to three miles but as a bumper horse I always thought he wouldn't have trouble staying.
