Drever regains World title

Inglis Drever ran out a thrilling winner of an incident-packed renewal of the Ladbrokes World Hurdle, the feature race on the third day of the Cheltenham Festival.

Paddy Brennan had to get serious with the 5-1 chance – winner of the race in 2005 – from a long way out but he jumped the penultimate flight with every chance and dug deep to hold Mighty Man by three-quarters of a length.
