He said: “I was at Navan the day American Mike won the Listed Bumper just before Christmas for Gordon Elliott. He is an absolutely gorgeous specimen of a horse and was hugely impressive that day. He coasted around Navan.

“You need stamina to win a Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and he has that in abundance, I’d imagine. I find it very hard to look past him.

THE HOT FAVOURITE FOR THE RYANAIR CHASE AT CHELTENHAM IS NOW 11/10

“I think he is a really nice horse who we probably won’t see again now until Cheltenham. He has done all his work and as far as I know he won’t go to the Dublin Racing Festival.

“A good gallop, a stiff track like Cheltenham, up that hill, and you are going to see the best of American Mike. Of all the bumper horses, he has impressed me the most.

“Willie Mullins unleashed some very nice bumper horses over Christmas with Facile Vega also impressive.

“We all know what his mother Quevega done at Cheltenham, so he is a very interesting contender if he takes on American Mike.”
