Greatwood Handicap Hurdle (Grade 3) 2m½f, 4yo+

Quote:
HARRY DERHAM notched the biggest victory of his short career on Brampour, who is trained by his uncle Paul Nicholls, in the Greatwood Hurdle
Quote:
"I've been coming here since I was 11, watching Ruby [Walsh] come in and seeing Paul train all these horses. To be part of it is all I've ever wanted to do. It really is a dream come true. I can't explain it, I'm in a daze."

Quote:
EXCITING prospect Fingal Bay extended his unbeaten record to three but not without giving favourite backers a big scare in the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle trial
Quote:
Johnson said: "He did it well and I probably hit the front too soon. He travelled well and he's very straightforward. He's a very exciting horse to have."

EIGHT months after he was roared up the Cheltenham hill as the winner of the Supreme Novices', Al Ferof returned to the scene of his greatest triumph to make a winning debut over fences and earn quotes as short as 5-1 for the Arkle.

Victor Chandler made Al Ferof their 6-1 second-favourite for the Cheltenham Festival race, against 11-2 for Peddlers Cross, while William Hill, Ladbrokes and Paddy Power all went 7-1. Stan James went shortest of all, making Al Ferof 5-1 second favourite.
