HARAMBE bounced back to form with a game display to land the Grade 3 Unibet Greatwood Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Having disappointed on his seasonal debut five weeks ago, Alan King’s six-year-old was sent off a 16/1 chance for this valuable contest under Tom Bellamy, and those who kept the faith were rewarded.

Lizzie Kelly attempted to make all the running on Monsieur Lecoq and did not give up the lead without a fight.

Gumball and Quoi De Neuf joined in as four horses battled it out, but it was Harambe, who crossed the line a neck to the good.

Monsieur Lecoq was second, with Gumball a neck away in third and Quoi De Neuf a further length and a quarter back in fourth.
