Champagne Fever wins Weatherbys Champion Bumper at Cheltenham Festival

The Willie Mullins-trained Champagne Fever has emerged victorious from the final race of day two at the Cheltenham Festival, crossing the line first in the Weatherbys Champion Bumper.

Champagne Fever, ridden by Patrick Mullins, moved to the front of the pack during the early part of the race.

The five-year-old continued to lead, and held on for the win despite a late challenge from favourite New Years Eve, who forced to settle for second place.

Pique Sous rounded off the top there, while Moscow Mannon came in fourth.
