Really interesting runner in the Mussy bumper in the form of DETONATE, I would love to know how much they paid for him as Paul Webber originally shelled out 80,000.
This is what the Ewart webpage says;

Detonate is by Al Namix is a high class and very successful stallion in France and is the sire of Petit Mouchoir who won a Grade 1 at Leopardstown and Saphir Du Rheu.Tadorna is the Dam of three winners in France.

A physically imposing and correct horse who has worked really well and will be at his best on good ground. He had one run for Paul Webber as a three year old when he was physically very weak. Only beaten by 2.5 lengths into fourth by the winner who has turned into a serious horse, never being out of the first three. The second horse was Dandy Mag brother to Vroom Vroom Mag who has since come third in a Grade 1 so this is very good form.

As you can plainly see the form is there in the book. This time though he now sports a hood and tongue tie and his departure from Cropredy surely means that there have been problems with this beast.

A safer option could well be an each way play on BLUE BATON @ 15/2. This one is a half sister to a very decent horse of Warren Greatrex's and the going should not be too soft for this daughter of Presenting. The yard apprentice takes a handy 5lb off and she should go close.

The fav warning was spot on and the EW selection was placed. Happy with that.

Lovely pedigree on this one being related to four winners including Simonsig and Drumcliff. Surprising that it has an opening show of 2/1. If the dogs were well and truly barking it would surely be shorter. Henderson has a good record in bumpers at the track but cannot match the record of Kim Bailey who has a 50% strike rate in bumpers here. He sends out two in this race tomorrow, one of which is SEA STORY who a few of us would have backed on debut only to see her jink after 4f and unseat David Bass. He will surely be a tad wiser about her tomorrow.

Get well soon mate. Is it man flu or that Australian version doing the rounds? Believe it's not much fun.
I look forward to hearing the tales....I wonder did we ever cross paths or have a beer in the same bar somewhere in the world?
I got 42 years sea service in come May. I'm thinking of making a career of it!

Get well soon Rudey, a string of bumper winners and we will have you feeling as right as rain in no time.

Just checked my planner, I have 35 more days to work before I punch out for the last time, lovely thought.
