Wylie does like a runner in the bumper though. Augusta Kate, Shaneshill, Battleford (I think I've missed a winner for him too) have all ran well in it recently.
If Stay Humble preforms well tomorrow I can see him turning up. A big if though.
If Pym wins today he will be a qualifier on my bumper system, so ive backed him nrnb with 365 25/1, so thats two qualifiers advised on here Hollowgraphic 12/1 and Pym 25/1, there may be more selections ill back nearer the time.
Think I mentioned on here last year that i have a system i use for the bumper. The main aspect of the system looks at when the horse made his bumper debut, the theory being that if they made their debut before the Galway festival and connections resist the temptation of going over hurdles then they must think he or she has a very good chance of winning the Bumper at the festival. The system has been great over the years and incorporates a few other bits as well. Hollowgraphic will be a qualifier on the system and as such Ive added him at 12/1 2pt win and hopefully he gets to the Festival.
In years gone by there are usually 2-5 qualifiers, recent successes:
2017 Fayonagh 7/1 sp (debut May2016)
2015 Moon Racer 9/2 sp (debut April 2014)
2014 Silver Concorde 16/1 sp (debut Jan 2012)
There have been quite a few placed horses over the years at decent prices also, from the top of my head i think Yanworth was a qualifier at a big price.
Also just for info purposes Stay Humble who has quite a reputation at Willies is ready to run and should be out over xmas.
The alternative would be the horse has had problems and it then becomes too late in the season to win a novice hurdle. That is what Henderson has said about Pym.

The most interesting runner iv seen this season in terms of timing is defi bleu tomorrow. Thats something I have never seen from giggingstown. Henderson could have done the same and sent pym for the dovecote and retained his novice status.

Just a note of caution guys: the Racing Post is purporting to show the confirmed entries for this race but entries do not actually close until noon on Tuesday. They list 46 as having been entered; there could well be several not listed by the RP who end up being entered (and vice versa) For example, in today's write up they state that Pym is entered for the Champion Bumper. he may well be but there is no way for the Racing Post to know that definitively at this point.
UPDATE: Now changed back to 'possible entries'

Danny Kirwin looked good then. I'm sure Pym will be good in time so that might be a decent looking bumper in a few years time!
Very impressive. Came with a very strong reputation out of Ireland and already looks a chaser; not sure they'll spend too much time over hurdles with him.
16/1 for the Champion Bumper before this race - no chance he'll be going there imho. Nicholls has not had a runner in this since 2013 - would be staggered if he breaks that sequence with this horse.

Odds on to be in all the "ones to follow" books next year with the line "anything he does this season over a hurdles will be a bonus"
Stay Humble - Impressive winner of a point and the fourth has since gone close in a Grade 2 hurdle
He was also last in his ptp before it and pulled up behind chef des obeaux. Everything else has been beaten a long way or pulled up. Dosent make his ptp good form.
Not much point discussing it further unless stay humble wins anything of note as a bumper horse.
