CHAMPION owner JP McManus notched-up his 75th Cheltenham winner courtesy of Fact to File in Wednesday’s Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase.

Trained by the in-form Willie Mullins, he was given a lovely ride by Mark Walsh.

McManus revealed afterwards: “I was nervous and I thought he got a little warm and on his toes beforehand.

“I think Mark did a great job to get him settled and I think he will learn a lot from that race, I’m just relieved.

“It’s all in front of him and when Willie decided to go straight chasing with him I had no objection, it sounded good to me. It has been vindicated.”

By many, Fact or File is viewed as a future Gold Cup contender.
