Tricky storms to Hunt Cup glory

Sam Waley-Cohen guided Tricky Trickster to victory in the 139th Year Of The National Hunt Chase Challenge Cup at Cheltenham.

Nigel Twiston-Davies’ 11-1 chance kicked to the front before coming down the hill and was still at the head of affairs turning into the home straight.

He looked a sitting duck when runner-up Drumconvis and Can’t Buy Time loomed up before the final fence, but Tricky Trickster found more up the testing incline to score by 10 lengths.
