Cheltenham Bumper 2018

I'm really struggling here then.

Jon - and all that have thanked you for your information being 'correct' on Hollowgraphic (And I stress 'correct', as I have no issue with it being passed on)

But this information is CLEARLY coincidence unless you truly believe that Willie Mullins had blatently lied at his stable tour, then again with the quote today that he didn't work well in his last piece of work.

If you believe the media day was staged and hollowgraphic was suffering then, and that its all a big conspiracy, then good luck to you, but you're living in a fantasy world.

What you've done is pass on information that hasn't been proven and claimed that you were now 'right all along' because of pure coincidence.

The argument would be he had a set back, and his last piece of work which willie said he wasn’t happy with is because he hadn’t got back to where he previously was.


Anyway it’s all irrelevant now, the majority of the forum have lost cash - for me it was my biggest antepost single of the year (and therefore ever) - but we move on. Surprised Blackbow hasn’t shorted much more.

I'm leaving this race well alone now! It's not really a race I ever do well on and Hollowgraphic was pointed out on here at a big price because of his 2 runs to date, at 33/1 it was hard to ignore, but other than that I do not have a massively strong view right now.

I can not remember even having a winner in this race also, so next year I will give this one a miss and just put it all on AJ or CoCs..

That's why I jumped in quickly and got 5/1 as I thought it would shorten to around 3/1 within an hour of people finding out..
 
Tornado Flyer appears to be the big mover. Maybe he worked with Hollowgraphic and went well?!
 
3/1 in this race would be a horrible price. No one knows how the Irish form stacks up against the British, and my feeling is that the British have the edge this year. Blackbow's action baffles me, think Carefully Selected could be overpriced

Form is standing up somewhat (although on a literal line through the 3rd he would have a lot to find with Blackbow and Rhinestone) and Ruby did give him a couple of mentions when commentating at the Dublin Festival.

Yes indeed BOF. Have added him at 11/1.
 
I've backed Mercy Mercy Me at 42's on the exchange

Fergal is the king of bumpers in this country, especially during the early-mid part of the season. As a result, I think he'd like to win the biggest bumper of the season.

Mercy Mercy Me impressed me at Sandown last year, and has been on the track since. He was green that day, and still put in a dominate display. I feel that Fergal's kept this off the track, saving him for this race - not seen anything suggesting he's been off with an injury

I think Mullin's has been left with a weaker bunch with hollowgraphic and stay humble missing out... feels similar to last year with Getabird picking up an injury

Yes it does feel different this year with Mullins, there doesn't seem to be the same sort of vibes from the previous years, I think this one is going to the home team this year..

Biggest potential winner of the week in Didtheyleaveuoutto, seems it may have been shafted by the ground. Connections adamant that he doesn't want it too soft... one thing's for sure if he wins this now then he's an absolute superstar (which i think and hope he might be)
 
I thought Barry had said he'd be on didtheyleaveuoutto!

He is my only big winner left in this race. Bear in mind there is little rain forecast for the rest of today then dry till Wed eve. With it being sunny tomorrow, hopefully it will be closer to soft later Wednesday afternoon.

Yes he'll likely be getting the best ground of the festival it seems, will definitely still be soft but he picked up well enough in softish ground at ascot
