* ON THE NOD: Jezki, near side, with Barry Geraghty on board, just hangs on to beat the Tony McCoy-ridden My Tent Or Yours in yesterday's Stan James Champion Hurdle on day one of the Cheltenham Festival. Both horses are owned by JP McManus but there were contrasting emotions for another leading Irish owner, Barry Connell, who saw his stable star Our Conor fatally injured in the same race.
