EL OF A TRIUMPH

CROSS COUNTRY

TIGER ROLL completed a Cheltenham Festival treble with a 7-1 success in the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase.

Previously victorious in the 2014 Triumph Hurdle and National Hunt Chase 12 months ago, the Gordon Elliott trainee (above) was providing a first triumph at the fixture for Keith Donoghue.

“To win three different races at the Festival is brilliant,” said Elliott, who racked up a treble with Samcro in the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle and 33-1 chance Veneer Of Charm in the Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle.
