Paul Nicholls tasted success for the first time at the 2016 Cheltenham Festival when Diego Du Charmil and Romain De Senam gave the Ditcheat trainer a one-two in the Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle.
There was still plenty to play for at the final flight where Voix De Reve and Campeador fell independently when looking to have a major say in the finish.
Their dramatic exit left Diego Du Charmil (13-2) in front from long-time leader Coo Star Sivola but he had to be driven out by Sam Twiston-Davies to hold the late dash of stablemate Romain De Senam by a head.
Coo Star Sivola was a head away third and Missy Tata was fourth.
