19Champion Bumper Racecard
Weatherbys Champion Bumper (Standard Open NH Flat Race) (Grade 1) (GBB Race)
There have been no UK-trained winners of this prestigious race since Ballyandy's success back in 2016, so it looks best to focus on the Irish contenders, of which Willie Mullins boasts yet another strong hand. With three of the previous 12 winners coming out of the Grade 2 Future Stars INH at Leopardstown, YOU OUGHTA KNOW, who finished second in that contest, has excellent credentials. The son of Beat Hollow thumped a smart rival on his debut at Kilbeggan and it is impossible to know where the ceiling of his ability might be. Stablemate Jasmin De Vaux could hardly have been more impressive when routing his rivals at Naas in January, though, and he is favoured in the ante-post market. Gordon Elliott will be hopeful he can break the Mullins stranglehold and his Jalon D'oudairies, who was picked up for 425,000 pounds at the sales in March of last year, could be his best chance. Romeo Coolio was yet another to impress on his racecourse bow, despite being keen in a five-runner event, so he could be smuggled into contention in this larger field. Paul Nicholls can fly the English flag with the promising son of Westerner Teeshan, while it would be unwise to underestimate the Ben Pauling-trained Sixmilebridge, who gave the impression he had plenty more in the tank when winning at Sandown last month.

Champion Bumper Overview
The Champion Bumper is a Grade One race open to horses aged four, five or six years of age. The race is run on the old course with the distance being 2 miles and 87 yards. The winner is likely to take home around £46,000. This is a flat race where no hurdles will be jumped.
Champion Bumper Trends
In the thirty-one runnings of the race, Ireland has won twenty-four of the renewals.
The leading trainer is Willie Mullins who has amassed twelve victories in the contest.
The leading jockeys, both riding for Willie Mullins, are Ruby Walsh and Patrick Mullins with three winners a piece.
This winner can be crowned the best bumper horse around up until this part of the season and the winner often goes on to become a leading performer over obstacles in years to come with the likes of Florida Pearl and Cue Card being fine examples.
Champion Bumper History
The race was first introduced in 1992 when initially it was called the Festival Bumper.
It had various sponsors in its early years including the Tote and Guinness with current sponsors Weatherbys taking over in 1997.
Some notable winners this century include Cue Card (2010), Envoi Allen (2019), Sir Gerhard (2021) and Facile Vega (2022).
