Cheltenham Bumper 2018

Big distances will be recorded not just back to second but third and fourth aswell

Looks a diamond

Very excited by him. Not often I'd go in big for a champion bumper horse. But the forms clear to see.
 
Willie just said "he's the real deal, Would look to be a Cheltenham bumper horse"
 
Into a clear favourite 8s with betfair and PP, 10s with Hills.

Bet365 the stand out at 16s
 
Great performance. He looks a really nice prospect and sets the standard.
 
Lovely performance, looks a class above the opposition at the moment for this race and encouraging that Mullins has mentioned the bumper this far out
 
Just has 2pts win at the 16s. Dont want to get carried away with the bumper but as said the form line is clear
 
Willie Mullins on Hollowgraphic: "He looks the real deal. He's a fine looking horse. He looks like he could be a Cheltenham bumper horse. I’ll probably run him again as he’s very laid back and another run might not do him any harm. It’s a long way to March."
 
very impressed with that , had him for final leg of roll up , never in doubt.

And I read comments on here prior to race and took the 20/1 and 7s on Mengli Khan in a sexy Win Win Double....................................... cheers boys.
 
I see Stay Humble has been cut to 20/1 from 25s and still not run

The 2nd from his ptp is entered up. The form behind is working out poor, all be it he won the race with authority
 
Hollowgraphic given a rpr of 132 thats higher than fayonagh (129) for winning both champion bumpers last year. And the 2nd debuchet (125)

Just been playing on the net and the horse that was 2nd to Stay Humble was Locker Room Talk. Now trained by Rebecca Curtis and entered to be out 12dec Uttoxeter 3.35 or 15dec Bangor 3.30
 
Only 10s now and it probably reflects the fact that Willie tends to send his best bumper prospects out late December or January. Of course, Hollowgraphic is a slightly different proposition because of his previous race experience but the comment about him being a Cheltenham horse were only about him running in the race albeit he only runs them if he thinks they're in with a chance.
 
They'll be a few he runs in with a chance but it's great to hear such positive comments and that its on the mind!

Glad he was highlighted here and on ATR by Patrick

Agreed, thanks to Hurrican Fly and Scooby I think for first flagging him on here. Managed a bit of 36s with Hills. Must say I'm a big fan of the Hills and Laddies price boosts especially when they are already top or joint top price :)
 
Downtown getaway up for sale at the weekend. Be interesting to see who buys him although if he was that good, I'm sure Willie would have been on the phone privately.
