goffs hundred grand bumper Betting Odds

It's always exciting to see a National Hunt flat race on the card, with as many as twenty-two runners stampeding around a Newbury track which is quickening all the time. Diamond Street won on a first appearance and is regarded as the most likely winner by the bookmakers, with Bailly's Comet running for Anthony Honeyball and having claims.

Lover Desbois goes for trainer Harry Derham and the five-year-old has impressed in a fledgling career to date, with The Mad Poet having some experience and he's another Dan Skelton runner with solid credentials. The other horse trading at single figure odds is Madam Speaker who will have the heady combination of Henderson and De Boinville.

2026 Goffs Hundred Grand Bumper Betting Tips

The Goffs Hundred Grand Bumper will feature lots of promising horses and Diamond Street is the runner who they might all have to beat. There was an exciting debut at Doncaster at the end of January, with the horse claiming a victory as the 5/2 favourite. That ten length success came on soft ground and it's easy to see why the charge is the market leader.

Even so, it's scant form upon which to feed. Bailly's Comet has come in with a couple of solid performances, with the four-year-old sure to put up a reasonable showing for Anthony Honeyball. The four-year-old won at Wincanton in November when obliging at 5/2 and more recently landed a credible third out of sixteen runners at Cheltenham on New Year's Day.

Lover Desbois will be saddled with more weight than the majority of the field although the five-year-old was an impressive winner at Kempton at the beginning of February. Over two miles, the charge claimed the spoils by nearly four lengths. That was on good to soft ground and came after a prep race at Newbury which was a solid outing.

The Mad Poet is another Dan Skelton runner with decent claims and the horse ran well at odds of 14/1 in a competitive Cheltenham tussle back in November. The runner was eight lengths off the pace on that day, with Madam Speaker an interesting contender. We'll see Nico de Boinville riding for Nicky Henderson after the horse was second out of fourteen at Wincanton.
