Cheltenham Bumper 2018

Glad Stay Humble is back in play. I only have 20's but some of the trebles on this thread are insanely good. Good luck Billy
 
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.

If SH was to win at the weekend, you may well have the bet of the festival right there.
 
Hi does anyone know when the entries are out for this please.
 
No stay humble at Navan, fiddle sticks!! Think that dream is defo over now.
 
Fun while it lasted...
 
Stay Humble entered again for Saturday.

Fingers crossed!
I have pretty much given up on Stay Humble and until we get a run and "quotes" about going to Cheltenham.. I'll be sceptical.
 
Good sign hes entered but getting really close now, but you never know!

Interesting in the Elliotts stable tour today in RP, he wasnt ruling out Gigg horses from the festival. Its been well documented that Gigg dont love the race and in the past 2 years havent sent any of there horses to it. I wonder if this year there has been a change of heart, or maybe they just havent made it clear to Gordon.

Has anyoine else found Gordon and O'LEary ever so slighty on different pages in terms of talking targets?

It could quite easily be contrived, but Elliott doesn't rule things out as quickly as O'Leary does and even when O'Leary has stated a target, Gordon is a little bit more 'careful' with his wording now?
 
Hollowgraphic not being ruled out yet is a nice surprise.

After hearing of his setback, I have been pessimistic about my bet. Thought it would be typical on the onky year I get a decent price antepost for this race and the hype is true, he would get injured.

Fingers crossed he makes the race.

Have I missed something? Or are you referring to before on here.
No reason at all he wouldn't run to my knowledge.

Just looking at previous enteries for Mullins in that race....

2017 - Fulham Road (2nd) - Not raced since
2016 - Are You Bidding (3rd) - 1 run since, won but in the June the same year
2015 - An Dearg Mor (2nd) - ran at Fairyhouse in April after that run
2014 - Westhorpe (1st) - Not raced since
2013 - Wicklow Gold (6th) - Didn't race until the May
2012 - No Mullins entry

I take absolutely no hope whatsoever that Stay Humble will run at Cheltenham as Willie seems to be a creature of habbit and even if Stay Humble won... he probably wouldn't go!
 
Yes you make a good point Kev, its not looking good.
