Racing Post Plate 2004 Cheltenham Result
Tikram came from nowhere to foil the luckless Iznogoud after the final fence. Way off the pace and hard ridden at points down the far side, he was still many lengths behind the leaders at the top of the hill, but gradually worked his way into contention under a trademark Timmy Murphy ride. Iznogoud. Two lengths clear going to the final fence, he was unable to respond when grabbed by Tikram. Rarely can a horse have performed so heroically in defeat in a Cheltenham handicap as Fondmort. Humping 11st 12lb and racing off - 9lb higher than when scooping the Paddy Power Gold Cup here four months earlier.
