RACING:YOUNG conditional jockey Harry Derham enjoyed another brilliant day with a second win on Brampour in the Greatwood Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham yesterday.

Trainer Paul Nicholls’ 17-year-old nephew won on the gelding at Ascot in October and gave the four-year-old a great ride to take this highly-competitive contest.

Leading at the final flight, the 12-1 shot battled on bravely up the hill to win by two and a half lengths from Olofi (8-1), with Abergavenny (28-1) third and Moon Dice (11-2) fourth.
