Weld/McNamara win Champion Bumper
Hidden Universe (7/1 into 5/1) followed up on his recent win at Limerick when landing the Paddy Power Champion I.N.H Grade 1 Flat Race under a fine ride by Robbie McNamara.
Dermot Weld 's charge raced prominently throughout before hitting the front on the approach to the straight. Always travelling smoothly he soon drew clear and had enough in reserve to hold the strong finishing Oilily in the closing stages.
Winning trainer Weld said afterwards: "Tactics still work, the plan was to dictate it and ride to the rail and Robbie [McNamara] executed that plan so well."
"He was a winner from a long way out. We'll leave him off for the Summer now and when he comes back he'll make an outstanding dual purpose horse."
