Sun Alliance Novices Chase 2003 Cheltenham Result
One Knight took the 2003 Cheltenham Festival Sun Alliance Chase in great style, leading from start to finish with a memorable front running display. Despite several jumping mistakes he was still far too strong for the competition and crossed the line three lengths clear of the second placed Jair du Cochet. Under Jacques Ricou the favourite Jair du Cochet was left with far too much to do in the final furlong and had perhaps been kept at the rear of the field for a little too long. Narrowly beaten into third place was the Irish horse Barrow Drive, who on the basis of this spirited performance could be one to watch in future Cheltenham Festivals.
