Champion Bumper

Essentially just a flat race but with National Hunt racing rules in place, the Champion Bumper is contested over a distance over two miles.

It is a race dominated by Irish raiders and they have won 14 of the last 17 renewals of the showpiece, none more impressively than last year with 2010 Supreme Novices’ Hurdle favourite Dunguib.

The Champion Bumper often represents a trial for the following year’s Supreme Novices’ hurdle and the winner here will no doubt enter 2011 festival antepost markets at a short price.
