At Fishers Cross wins Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle

At Fishers Cross has come out on top in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham.

The pre-race favourite stalked his rivals two fences out, before jumping the last to the left of African Gold.

He came down with the most momentum, and he showed a quick turn of foot to edge home by four-and-a-half lengths.

Jockey Tony McCoy told Channel 4: "This horse has a got a great attitude. He just kept on fighting and fighting."

Inish Island finished in third place.
