- Paul Nicholls’ horse triumphs in style at Sandown
- Odds cut for two races over hurdles at Cheltenham
Tahmuras gave Paul Nicholls a fifth Tolworth Novices’ Hurdle in sauntering to an easy success at Sandown. A stylish winner of a Listed contest at Haydock on his previous run, Harry Cobden’s mount travelled supremely well throughout in the two-mile contest and was content to allow Colonel Harry to make the running under Gavin Sheehan.
Though clearly green, he loomed large approaching the last two flights as the disappointing favourite, Authorised Speed, laboured in the soft ground.
