The Druids Nephew

Trainer Neil Mulholland saddled his first Cheltenham Festival winner when The Druids Nephew romped home in the Ultima Business Solutions Handicap Chase.

Barry Geraghty rode the 8/1 winner, who beat Grand Gesture by three and three-quarters of a length, with Gallant Oscar third a further length and a half behind. Gary Elisia, representing the winning, four-strong syndicate The Stonehenge Druids, was at Cheltenham today on his stag party - he is getting married in two months' time.

Mulholland, who trains at Limpley Stoke near Bath, said: "There have been no hiding places for this horse because every race is so competitive - we're delighted it's all come good.

"This is our World Cup and this is where we want to be - it's the big stage and we're on it today. It's a fantastic feeling and will take a while to sink in.

"We ran him over hurdles last time to give him a little freshen up - I told Barry he has solid handicap form and we know he stays. Barry's a great big-race jockey and he proved that again today.

"We've been at our current yard for two and a half years and we had 48 winners last year and 53 this time. We put in a new spa and flat gallop in the last year and a half and you can see you are getting that little bit more out of the horses."

The Druids Nephew is a leading fancy for next month's Crabbie's Grand National, but when asked about that race, Mulholland said: "We'll worry about today for now - today was always a stop towards the National, but I'll have a word with Barry and see how we get on. I'm not going to talk the National up at this stage."

'Everyone Wants To Ride A Winner And The Sooner You Do It The Better,' Says Geraghty

Barry Geraghty, who rode The Druids Nephew to victory, was winning the race for the second time. His first win in the came in 2003 on Youlneverwalkalone.

Geraghty said: "I always felt comfortable. He jumped nicely - a little sketchy over the first couple - but, every time I gave him a little squeeze from early in the back straight, he would come on the bridle quickly, so I was keen to tuck him away and wait. 

"I was there sooner than ideal but I couldn't hang on much longer and he didn't do an awful lot in front. 

"It's only when we come here that we really appreciate what it means. You hate to draw a blank - everyone wants to ride a winner and the sooner you can do it, the better."

Jesture's Grand Target

Trainer Henry De Bromhead was delighted with the performance of Grand Jesture after the 25/1 shot finished the three-and-three-quarter length runner-up behind The Druid's Nephew this afternoon.

Dr Bromhead had entertained thoughts of running the seven-year-old in this year's Crabbie's Grand National but decided to wait another year and the Aintree showpiece could be the target next year following his run here.

"We're delighted," said the trainer.

"Super run and a super ride. He's a tough horse and you'd hope he'd be an English National hope next year. I was going to enter him this year but then I looked at his age so I just scratched him so he's not in it this year.

"We'll see what his campaign will be next year. He's there to win races and you need to win them to get in the National nowadays.

"We've not had a bad day. I was a bit disappointed with Smashing (seventh in the Racing Post Arkle Challenge Trophy) and I think I've picked the wrong race for him unfortunately. He looked completely outpaced.

"Sizing John ran a super race in the Supreme Novices' though. I remember going home with my tail between my legs after his run at Gowran Park when he was beaten but the winner that day was Douvan so I suppose that form has stood up!"

Trainer Tony Martin was also happy with Gallant Oscar, who finished a further one and a half lengths back in third.

"I'm absolutely delighted with him," said the trainer.

"He galloped and stayed on really well. He jumped very nicely, travelled throughout and was staying on well at the finish. He came into the race travelling well and saw the trip out well, I was really happy with the run.

"We have plenty of options for him including going to Leopardstown or Punchestown. Obviously, we'll see how he comes out of the race and then decide where we will go but he has a range of possible races he could be targeted for."
