Race Description As the title suggests, a National Hunt Flat Race or ‘bumper’ as they are more commonly referred, is a race that takes place without any fences or hurdles. Designed for young horses that, it is presumed, will go jumping in time; only debutantes or horses that have run in this type of race, or an Irish or French equivalent, are qualified to run. If they have previously run on the flat or in hurdle races or steeplechases (except for point-to-points), they are barred from entry. This particular contest is restricted to four, five and six-year-old mares and will be run over two miles and 104 yards.

PLAY SMARTER LEGENDARY GRACE cemented a positive start to her career when runner-up for the second time at Lingfield a fortnight ago and in receipt of a healthy age allowance she is the one to beat. Mayhem Mya made a winning start at Warwick and is feared, while Sanguinaire and Universal Brook are likely-looking debutantes.
