THERE were plenty of people delighted to see Noel McParlan record his first Cheltenham Festival success when landing Thursday’s Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Chase on the Warren Greatrex-trained Missed Approach.

Three times a winner of the northern region point-to-point riders’ title and second three times in the Foxhunter at the festival, the Cabra rider made all the running on the Golan eight-year-old.
