Last time at Newbury he absolutely winged the first but after the second he had no chance,. Today Bridget gave him a great ride — when you have one of the biggest teams as we do there’s a responsibility that goes with it and you feel you have get big winners. To have one (at the Festival) is good, but to have two shows you are doing it right.
Dan Skelton, trainer
Permission was given for Pied Piper (GB) and Luttrell Lad (IRE) to wear a red hood to post.
First Street (GB) wore earplugs which were removed at the start.
The winner, Faivoir (FR), appeared to show improved form compared with its previous run at Newbury on 11 February 2023, where the gelding was pulled up, on Good going.
Dan Skelton’s explanation that Faivoir (FR) was better suited by the going here at Cheltenham, which was officially described as Soft, Good to Soft in places was noted.
Faivoir (FR) was routine tested.
The performance of PEMBROOKE, which started favourite and was pulled up, was considered.
Dan Skelton’s explanation was noted that the gelding had made a bad mistake jumping the second last hurdle.
The Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination, during routine testing of PEMBROOKE, failed to reveal any abnormalities.
The performance of Aucunrisque (FR), which finished unplaced, was considered.
Chris Gordon reported that the gelding was unsuited by the going, which was officially described as Soft, Good to Soft in places and in his opinion riding tacky.
The performance of Hunters Yarn (IRE), which finished unplaced, was considered.
W P Mullins could offer no explanation for the gelding’s performance.
On the approach to the final hurdle, Winter Fog (IRE), unplaced, shifted markedly right-handed taking Aucunrisque (FR), unplaced, off its intended line, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that there was no riding offence involved.
Jumping the last hurdle, Wonderwall (IRE), unplaced, jumped right-handed giving a bump to First Street (GB), unplaced, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that there was no riding offence involved.
