FORTY FOUR horses have been left in the Goffs Land Rover Bumper, which will be run a Fairyhouse on Tuesday. There will be a maximum field of 30, and with a winner's prize of £30,000, it will be the richest bumper ever run.

The race is restricted to 250 horses who were catalogued for sale at the Goffs Sale last June. The seller of the winning horse will be presented with a Land Rover Discovery worth £20,000.
