Cheltenham show off the best of the racing at the weekend and the first race of the meeting on Saturday is the JCB Triumph TrialJuvenile Juvenile Hurdle and the Grade Two event has seen some superb winners over the years.
In 2019 Joseph O'Brien bought over an unknown entity in Fakir D'Oudairies, who had only had one run for the yard when winning at Cork.
However, the four year old became a star after this event landing the Grade Two contest by 13 lengths and being privately sold to JP McManus.
From there he went on to finish fourth in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle and has also since gone on to land a Grade One over fences and place in the Arkle at last year's festival.
Fakir D'Oudairies is a seriously talented gelding that was found in this event in 2019 and there may be another pop up at the weekend.
