Cheltenham Bumper 2018

Probably worth mentioning here that most of the Grade 1s (although not I think the bumper) have a supplementary entry at the 6 day confirmation stage.

So is it more a case of PP just not offering Odds on him then ?

As far as I'm aware, it is only the championship races that have a supplementary stage. I don't remember one for the novice races.

Thanks Archie. Is that a recent change? I don't remember any novice being added at the 5 day stage?

[archie]

Don't know to be honest, FM. At least a couple of years I think but, as everybody knows, Willie isn't usually guilty of failing to make an entry.

[Faugheen_Machine]

Yeah it must be a recent addition Archie. They even have a supplementary stage for the Triumph and I can't think of a single novice or juvenile that has ever supplemented. I wonder if it's in response to some of the small fields in recent years.

Not Many Left win at Navan gives the Hollowgraphic form another boost.

Welcome.

Certainly stacking up the form, Not Many Left was well fancied today, big late gamble and won well

Perhaps it is a bold statement you’re right.

Even if I hadn’t had a bet at 12s, I think i would take the 8s on hollowgraohic even now. The fact that Patrick Mullins believes he’s a fantastic horse and that he’s been excellent at home, makes me like him even more. He was asked on on the line a few days before his last race, what horse is he most looking forward to riding this season. His answer was Hollowgraphic.

That’s a bold statement in itself.

Shortening by the day as his bumper form keeps looking better and better and better.

Anyone know if he’s having another run before the festival?

Yes at leopardstown the grade 2.

Yes at leopardstown the grade 2.

Cheers Scooby

I cashed out Stay Humble - he's still the same price as when I backed it anyway so if he actually gets entered anywhere I can just re up

Thinking of putting another 3pts on Hollowgraphic in this taking my stake up to 5pts. The form stacks up very well bit it seems to easy this one. Someone give me a nudge

This is the bumper - its very rarely that easy...... (In my experience)
