Winners of the famous Velka Pardubicka from outside the Czech Republic has been as rare as hen's teeth in the past 30 years, but Stumptown leads the charge to become the first ever Irish-trained winner of the race on Sunday since its creation in 1874.

The winner of cross country races at Cheltenham and Punchestown is one of three declarations for the race trained outside the Czech Republic, looking to break a home-trained stranglehold on the race. It's A Snip in 1995, and before that, Stephen's Society in 1973, are two in just seven foreign-trained winners of the race in 60 years.
