About the Kim Muir Challenge Cup
The Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup is a handicap chase for amateur riders, run on Cheltenham’s New Course over a distance of three miles and two furlongs, and is open to horses aged five and over. It holds a unique status as one of just three races for amateur riders at the Festival and is named in honour of both Fulke Walwyn and Kim Muir.
The Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup was established in 1946 and was named after Kim Muir, a cavalry officer who lost his life during World War II. The name of Fulke Walwyn was added to the title in 1991 after the legendary trainer, who trained 40 winners at the Cheltenham Festival. The race has been won by several recognisable names in the past, and Jamie Codd has built up a particular affinity in the race of late, riding the winner on four occasions since 2009.
Angels Dawn fought off Stumptown to land victory in the 2023 Kim Muir to land the spoils in a thrilling finale to day three.
