Champion Bumper

[notsodancingbrave]

Has anyone any fancies/feelings about the bumper on Wednesday?
Its always one of my favourite races of the festival and I have had a fair degree of success over the years in it but the last couple of years have been a let down.
At the moment I have Broadway Ted ew @ 16/1 and will have a look after final decs to see if anything else jumps out at me, though as usual Willie/Patrick will probably be hard to beat.

Any chance you can edit the title, please?

Something like "Champion Bumper Cheltenham 2026: Bets, Betting, & Race Predictions" would be apt.

I suspect Broadway Ted's Leopardstown bumper Feb 2nd is just about the best bumper form of the season so far.

I believe Willie will be thinking Love Sign skates in.

No prizes for either of those observations, ofc.

From the (more obscure/less obvious) races this side of the water, the No Walkover and Wilde's Legacy form looks strong. Probably not strong enough to get near the best of the Irish runners.

The problem (or opportunity!) is: most of the important bumpers this season were run in totally different conditions from what'll be likely here - ground wise, for nearly sure, and pacewise, pretty near certainly.
