Paul Nicholls drew alongside the legendary figure of Martin Pipe with 3,930 British National Hunt winners when Fasol won at Windsor.

Nicholls had been making good progress towards the record in recent weeks but the prevailing quick ground had somewhat slowed his progress.

When the fancied Quebecois faded up the hill in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham it appeared the Ditcheat handler was going to have to wait at least another day.

However, Fasol (11-1) was always travelling comfortably in the Cutler And Gross Handicap Hurdle for Freddie Gingell and he held off Watamu by a short head for a memorable win.
