I heard something about him on the Final Furlong pod. They've aimed him at the bumper. Apparently they rate him. Personally, I've been most impressed by Black Hercules in bumpers this season.
It is a wierd decision to keep him in a bumper this year and not send him over hurdles. do they feel that he should have won last year at the festival so this is to make up for it or he may feel that Mullins has such a strong hand in the novice hurdle section they are willing to wait a year and let the horse grow and then go on to win a major hurdle race next year but it is strange.
