Champion Bumper

The Champion Bumper is a Grade 1 National Hunt flat race in Great Britain which is open to racing horses aged four to six years.

It is run on the Old Course at Cheltenham over a distance of about 2 miles and ½ furlong (2 miles and 87 yards, or 3,298 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year during the Cheltenham Festival in March.

The event was established in 1992, and it was initially called the Festival Bumper.

In its early years it had various sponsors, including the Tote and Guinness.

It often features horses which go on to become leading performers over obstacles, such as Florida Pearl and Cue Card.
