Tizzard wins the Bumper

No joy for the Irish in the Champion Bumper, won in great style by the 40/1 shot Cue Card.

A significant gamble on Shot From The Hip came unstuck, after he ran too free and was back peddling before the straight.

Al Ferof made a brave attempt to make all, but the winner was travelling ominously well with a furlong to race and the Kings Theatre gelding under Joe Tizzard, quickly put the race to bed, when he hit the front inside the final furlong to win as he liked by seven lengths over Al Ferof.

Frawley and Tavern Times finished best of the Irish trained runners back in third and fourth.
