Classy Hill snaps up Foxhunters

Tammys Hill got on top close home to claim the CGA Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham.

Held up for most of the race, the Liam Lennon-trained 11-year-old crept into contention under James Smyth from four out as Carsonstown Boy made the pace from the outset.

The long-time leader would not give in without a battle and he kept on for second place, three and a quarter lengths behind the 15-2 winner.

The well-fancied On The Fringe came with a threatening run but could not maintain his bid and finished third, a length and three-quarters away.

Smyth said: "Fantastic, he jumped brilliant. We've fancied him for three years!"
