The Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup is handicap chase that is run over 3 miles and 2 furlongs, with 21 fences for the horses.
It is another race that is especially for amateur jockeys and is open to horses aged five and above. The race is one of the lower in terms of prize money at the festival, with the winner receiving £36,668
The Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup was established in 1946 and added to the Cheltenham Festival as the Kim Muir Amateur Riders' Steeplechase. This race, a tribute to Major Kim Muir, a cavalry officer who tragically died in World War II, was introduced by his sister, Mrs. Evan Williams.
In 1991, the name was expanded to honor the highly successful trainer Fulke Walwyn, a legend with 40 Cheltenham Festival wins under his belt. Notably, the race remains unsponsored, making it a unique tribute to both Muir and Walwyn within the Festival.
The Kim Muir has seen exciting developments in recent years. While Jamie Codd has certainly shown dominance with four wins, other talents have emerged. Here's a breakdown:
| Year | Winning Horse | Jockey | Trainer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Angels Dawn | Mr. P A King | Sam Curling |
| 2022 | Chambard | Miss Lucy Turner | Venetia Williams |
| 2021 | Mount Ida | Mr. Jack Kennedy | Denise 'Sneezy' Foster |
