Mullins leaves three in Bumper

Willie Mullins has three of the 35 entries for the Weatherbys Champion Bumper at the Festival next Wednesday after Moyle Park was not declared.

The five-year-old had been as short as 12/1 following a facile debut success in December, but will miss Cheltenham leaving Mullins with Union Dues, Briar Hill and Sizing Tennessee bidding to follow up Champagne Fever's win last year.

Tony Martin's Golantilla is favourite with most bookmakers and is among the entries along with Jeremy Scott's Empiracle, an impressive winner at Huntingdon on his only start to date.

Le Vent D'Antan is the sole representative for Elizabeth Doyle, Anthony Honeyball has Regal Encore entered, while David Pipe has three including the highly-regarded Vieux Lion Rouge.
