Cheltenham Bumper 2018

[Hurricane fly]

I do recall you mentioning Blackbow as your alternative, certainly sounds like they're the top 2 so far



I hope you're right FM - running out of time though...

The only thing that is helping me cling on to hope is that Battleford didn’t race until the end of the month

Dorrels pierji (sullivan)
Stay humble ( wylie )
aione ( ricci )
Wylies home bred " AMEN CORNER" ( the masters syndicate)

Would all need a run beforehand. Theres obviously time but not much for all. There's been loads of suitable races if they were ready

Bit of a statement that. Hollowgraphic beat Boot Camp 7 lengths, Blackbow beat the same horse 11 lengths. Plenty of time between those two races but suggests that Blackbow is a very decent horse in his own right. ‘He looks far better than anything else I’ve seen this season’ - didtheyleaveuoutto was far more visually taking with the way he travelled and turn of foot in both his races. The form might not be up there with the Irish form, time will tell

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.

Fair one. Hoping it’s didtheyleaveuoutto vs hollowgraphic as the best of the English and Irish as they’re my two biggest winners. Got on the latter at 33s thanks to some discussion on here, not sure I’d be taking 8s now as it’s traditionally a trappy race (and one in which I’ve never had the winner)

Locker room talk finally gets a run today.
Not one for this race but gives you a view of stay humble.

Having watched the re runs I’m liking Good Boy Bobby for this. travelled well in both his races and found a bit when asked on debut. Even had to contend with a stumble in his latest victory but STD was motionless throughout.

Seems a knocking ew bet at 14s (nrnb) at this stage.

joint top timeform rating with a p next to him , not backed him but obvious chance Jon , good luck.

[jonthehammer]

Cheers fella. Soon as I get paid next week im in

[jonthehammer]

Also two he beat in his first outing have come out and won since.

Im surprised no one has mentioned Acey Milan for this. Slaughtered a decent field last time out. Ive had a nibble @33s.

I thought that was a bit of a funny race at Cheltenham myself doctor. Volcano was heavily backed and had easily beaten Acey Milan first time up on better ground, and appeared not to handle the conditions.

Which race would you take as the more solid of those two... would have to be the first one for me. So I think it was more a case of Acey Milan beating horses who didn't handle heavy ground... rather than improving so much, but obviously I could have that completely wrong so good luck!

One of my favourite races at festival , this year will be no different.

Had only one bet atm and that is Stay Humble 33/1 for Mullins/Wylie.

His profile from p2p is very good and at the prices speculative bet to follow for season.

Just a strange one, but the horse Stay Hunble beat in his PTP is running today at Hereford for Rebecca Curtis.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the Festival though (unless he wins by 20 lengths!) but always nice to refer to the first post sometimes!

As an aside, I quite fancy Rhinestone for this. The JOB camp seem to be quite confident.

Thats a fair point CCM, although trainer states that he's not soft ground dependant.

The cash out button is starting to look appealing on Stay Humble

[Tenty]

Impressive start from Brewinupastorm on his first start under rules.

Looks a bit green for this at the moment. It will be interesting to see if they target Betfair Hurdle day bumper with him first.
