Warren Greatrex was left fighting back the tears after stable star Cole Harden produced a fantastic front-running display to clinch glory in the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

One of the emerging stars of the training ranks in recent years, Greatrex moved to Uplands stables in Upper Lambourn with a team of just 15 horses after a spell as private trainer to Malcolm Denmark came to an end in 2012 and his subsequent progress has been rapid, with Cole Harden the star in a 70-plus strong string.

Festival dream comes true for McCoy.

Tony McCoy erased any fears he had of leaving his final Cheltenham Festival without a winner to his name when masterminding a bold front-running success aboard Uxizandre in the Ryanair Chase.

The 19-times champion jockey showed his intention as soon at the tapes lifted, sending the 18-1 shot straight into an unchallenged lead in the two-mile-five-furlong contest.

Coneygree became the first novice to strike for 41 years when making most of the running in the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup.

The eight-year-old, trained by Mark Bradstock and ridden by Nico de Boinville, took the blue riband prize of steeplechasing on only his fourth race over fences.

The success fully vindicated the decision to bypass the RSA Chase earlier in the week and run in the Gold Cup instead.

A host of bookmakers have reported significant money for Gleneagles in the ante-post market on the Qipco 2000 Guineas.

Fourth on his racecourse debut, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt finished a fine juvenile campaign when passing the post first in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp on Arc day, only to be demoted to third by the stewards for causing interference.
