DAN Skelton’s Sam Red (11/1) took advantage of Oighear Dubh running out late on in the Ryman Stationary Cheltenham Business Club Amateur Riders’ Handicap Chase, to claim victory.

It looked between the Irish-trained pair of Oighear Dubh (Eugene O’Sullivan) and Presenting Julio (Gordon Elliott) on the turn into the straight, with the former travelling much the better. He took up the running for Michael O’Sullivan well before the last but it was after that jump that disaster struck. Similarly to the earlier incident, the gelding appeared to not see the tape blocking off the hurdlers course and ran through it before unseating his luckless rider.
