Saphir sparkles in Cleeve.

Saphir Du Rheu evoked memories of the great Big Buck's with victory in the galliardhomes.com Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham.
Winner of this Grade Two in 2009 and 2012, Big Buck's, like Saphir Du Rheu, was owned by Andy Stewart and trained by Paul Nicholls, and t he similarities do not end there, as Saphir Du Rheu was reverting to hurdles after he fell over fences - just as the great staying hurdler had done before he embarked upon a breathless winning run.

Clouds claims Cup glory.

Many Clouds showed class and bravery in equal measure to win a fine renewal of the BetBright Cup Chase at Cheltenham.
Oliver Sherwood's Hennessy hero added to his sizeable Newbury haul in November with a superb round of fencing under Leighton Aspell.
Smad Place and Dynaste gave chase late on, but the always-prominent Many Clouds (4-1) had enough in reserve to keep the former at bay by a length and a quarter.
