The Weatherbys Ireland EBF Mares Bumper is a Grade 3 National Hunt flat race in Ireland for amateur riders which is open to mares and fillies aged four to seven years. It is run at Punchestown over a distance of about 2 miles and ½ furlong (2 miles and 70 yards, or 3,283 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year during the Punchestown Festival in late April or early May.

The race (also known as the Liss A Paoraigh EBF Bumper) was first run as a Listed race in 2016.[1] From 2017, the race was awarded Group 3 status, and all penalties were abolished thus making it a mares' equivalent of the Champion INH Flat Race.[2] [3]
