True, although criticism of the Bumper looks a little less inspired now that both Champagne Fever (1st) and The New One (6th) have gone in from last year's renewal.
I thought The New One looked better than Champagne Fever

Pace in the race was a bit in-and-out but he really scooted away from them. Definite Champion Hurdle contender next year if they go that route.
Cue Card has just enhanced the Bumper's reputation as a source of future Festival winners too...
I think this year it seems a lot of horses with previous festival form are running really well
Perhaps because so many are now prepared solely for the Festival, with only a handful of runs beforehand.
