Mrs Milner provided Paul Nolan with a 3rd Cheltenham Festival winner in the Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle partnered by Bryan Cooper.

Nolan previously had success at the Cheltenham festival in 2011 with Noble Prince in the Jewson Novices Chase, and in 2005 with Dabiroun in the Fred Winter Handicap hurdle which incidentally Wexford jockey Sean Flanagan was successful in this year.

In second place today behind Nolan’s horse was Caim jockey Jordan Gainford on the Bosses Oscar.

Watch the finish here:

Latest Exhibition almost gave Nolan a winner at last years festival only to be denied by a short distance in the Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle by Monkfish.

Discorama was also another Nolan horse to have hit the crossbar at Cheltenham in recent years. In 2018 he came second in the Martin Pipe, in 2019 he was second in the National Hunt Chase and in 2020 he was 3rd in the Ultima.
