Reality Cheque gets the nap to take the Paddy Power Flat One Bumper which brings today’s Leopardstown card to a close. His trainer, Willie Mullins, has won three of the last four runnings of the race, and two of those winners – Appreciate It and Carefully Selected – went on to finish runner-up in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival.
After his track debut defeat, that was probably a long way off for the selection, but he showed more than enough to suggest he could take quite high rank in this sphere. Arguably, he was a little unlucky as he was bumped in the closing stages, and that run should have brought him on. A point-to-point winner at Kilfeacle, he can get off the mark on the track at the second time of asking.
