'Smart' newcomer lands bumper for Elliott & Codd
Imagine and Jamie Codd

Imagine justified strong market confidence to win Punchestown's concluding Join Racing TV Now Bumper at odds of 4/9 favourite on debut today, as winning jockey Jamie Codd later talked up future prospects.
Imagine was pushed along by Codd entering the home straight but quickened well and eventually scored by five and a half lengths from Aide De Camp
Trained by Gordon Elliott, Imagine is by Montmartre, the same sire as his Supreme Novice Hurdle winner Labaik, and afterwards Codd reported “Joey Logan bought him at the sales last year and he's a lovely horse. He has a big future and I think he was only getting going at the line.
“I'd imagine that he's one that Gordon might aim at the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham. He's booked his ticket now and he could run there.
“He's been a smart horse all along.”
