Champion Bumper 2023 Result

17:30 Wednesday 15 March 2023

WEATHERBYS CHAMPION BUMPER (STANDARD OPEN NATIONAL HUNT FLAT) (Grade 1) (1)

 Distance: 2m 87y (Old)
Prize: £45,560 Age: 4yo to 6yo Race Type: Bumper Going: Soft

A Champion Bumper field that fully reflects the current state of the top of the jumping game, British stables fielding just 4 of the 21 that lined up, one more among 3 withdrawn runners, Willie Mullins on his own saddling 10 of the 17-strong Irish representation, though a thirteenth win in the race eluded him, victory something of a fairytale for a veteran trainer and teenage amateur jockey, Mullins still responsible for 7 of the first 10; the race was rather messy, several pulling too hard, and there was serious interference over 1f out, which earned Harry Cobden a 4-day ban; 10 of the 21 were unbeaten, only one of the field without a win, and it was clearly a competitive renewal, though the form initially looks around standard, rather than any better.
