Cheltenham Bumper 2018

His form from first run had worked out quite well hasn't it?

I wouldn’t say ‘well’ tbh Kev. The third subsequently won an egg and spoon race. Worked out Ok but not in the context of talking about him as a Cheltenham horse I wouldn’t say.

Fair enough. Not seem anything today and an unreliable source text me to say "that wins the bumper. Won with a penalty. Great form".

Not had chance to check myself but 1/50 you're more accurate than he is haha

Haha. Doesn't say much for your mate!
 
Got burned on this race too many times ante post to be confident
A lot of top trainers and owners are of the view that this race is too much for a young horse and can damage their long term prospects
Although JP and Frank Berry run the odd one they tend to avoid it generally if they think they have a good one
They did run Yanworth in it a few years back but you could argue that it was the wrong decision
So I will be avoiding dontleaveuoutto,rhinestone and invincible cave unless nrnb
Hollowgraphic looks a likely runner but have missed the big prices

Sky NRNB now so those 3 are:

Rhinestone 14/1
Didtheyleaveuoutto 7/1
Invincible Cave 16/1

No chances taken there!

Thanks Kevloaf
Don't have a sky account
Looks like the most sensible route though
Cheers

Think i’ll have a look at what Ruby is riding in this race. His mounts generally tend to go off at decent prices and finish there or thereabouts.

Trying to nail the perceived 2nd string then?

Stay Humble :devilish:
 
What was the name of Mags Mullins horse that sluiced up in a bumper couple of months back?

Think Tabor owns a share in it.

I’d like that one for the bumper- looked a class act. Usually a race to play on the day though for me.

Downtown getaway, Al Ferof?

That's quite interfering. Is it easy to see the timeform ratings fit the last few winners prior to the festival?

Different owners now grech and parkin and he'd need to run again in the listed race coming up. As id be shocked if the owners and hendo would consider sending him there without another run. If they are considering him for the race at all.

Gallaghers cross also going hurdling 2m4
 
Didtheyleaveuoutto going straight for the bumper, confirmed by Gifford today. Him and hollowgraphic stand out as the two to beat in this for me, slight preference for the former, beat a top class field last time with loads in hand
