Cheltenham Bumper 2018

Had an update. Hollowgraphic had a setback but still expected to make the festival.

Blackbow still highly fancied (obviously)

I guess these 2 set the standard with Maybe Acey or didtheyleaveuotto Just in behind. Can rhinestone be the improver? Decisions eh.
 
The other Rooney owned bumper runs tomorrow at Exeter, Time To Move On ... currently RPR of 130. Looks an easy race.

I imagine I'll add Rhinestone too, too closely linked to Blackbow not to... tiny bit reluctant as I am backing the horse than is technically held at a shorter price than the price I have for the one that beat him (Blackbow)

Does anyone fancy any horse that isn't one of these:
Hollowgraphic,
Blackbow
Rhinestone
Didtheyleaveuoutto
Stay Humble:devilish:

Stay humble won't run.
But The rest of them 4 have cracking chances.

Theres 2 I like at big prices as an ew angle that probably won't run
Ballyneety was very green but showed plenty of ability when it clicks he'll be a nice horse.
Gallaghers cross
His last run was far better than the bare form an obstacle might be the making of him but he caught my eye.

Would it be so left field for Henderson to run him here in the hated bumper..
 
Stay Humble keeps picking up small injuries I believe? Shame as I strongly fancied him for this over the summer. For me it will take a a serious good one to beat Blackbow, is he now firmly their number 1 hope over Hollowgraphic Scooby?

I don't believe stay humble has ever been considered for this tbh he's never been mentioned and it was public money of Twitter. A fair ammount at the time also thinking he was riccis. His forms worked out awful.

No idea faugheen. Time will tell. But on track form alone I'd be guessing Patrick on blackbow and ruby hollowgraphic.

He was mentioned in One Jump Ahead by Mark Howard at the start of the season.

Not seen a word from Ruby, Mullins, Patrick or anyone else all season.

I hope they are the jockey bookings... Blackbow deserves to be fav on his form, so if there is strong market support for Hollowgraphic that'll be interesting (on the day)
 
Vision des Flos won nicely there
 
I asked STD on Twitter about GBB performance. He actually replied fair play. Said he didn’t have his usual zest but ran a good race all the same. Fair play to the lad for replying.

Yes I think he’ll ride Blackbow as well. Got to considering the strength of field he beat last time, although I suspect there isn’t much between them.
 
Stay humble entered this week Navan on Sunday
 
Yes i have a £5ew trico on Apples 33/1 (triumph), Samcro 16/1 (ballymore), Stay Humble 25/1 (bumper), so ive £76,572.80 reasons to be cheering him on! Hopefully he wins very professionally and without too much fuss!! What can go wrong!

Wow. Incredible potential in that bet billy. Fingers crossed for you. Obviously needs to come out and win first and the standard set by Hollowgraphic, Blackbow is high but 3 and a half weeks until the festival on Sunday, could just about be enough time inbetween to line up at the festival maybe?

I think Kev has something similar. Good luck Billy!
 
Cheers chaps, id almost given up on Stay Humble but at least there is still some hope, even though i suspect they might save him for another festival even if he wins. Fingers crossed
 
I cashed mine out so I’ll be devastated if he wins
