Gauvain was given a 33-1 quote by Coral for the Arkle Trophy at next month’s Cheltenham Festival following his victory in the Grade Two Kilbrittain Castle Novices’ Chase at Sandown.

Charlie Mann is revelling in his best-ever season and Gauvain provided him with another Cheltenham Festival contender when taking the Grade Two Kilbrittain Castle Novices’ Chase at Sandown.

Lucy Wadham has a lot to thank The Dark Lord for during the last few years and the veteran came up trumps when he was most needed at Fakenham.

DENIS O’REGAN ensured he will never forget his first experience of Fakenham by collecting a 14-day ban for riding a finish a circuit too early.
