Veneer Of Charm's victory in the Boodles Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle gave trainer Gordon Elliott a 468.8/1 Ladies Day treble - and takes him to a total of 17 Festival winners.

The 33/1 shot, who was ridden by Jack Kennedy, beat Style De Garde by three lengths.
 
Elliott said: "It's been a brilliant day - I can't believe it. 
 
"Veneer Of Charm has been a great servant; we bought him as a fun horse on the advice of [journalist] Ryan McElligott - so all thanks go to him. We struggled to get an owner for him for a bit and Martin Wasylocha bought him. 
 
"It's great for him - he's been an owner with me since I started and is one of the owners who has been with me the longest, except for Stephen O'Connor who owns Bless The Wings. This is something Martin dreams about so to give him a Cheltenham winner is unbelievable.
 
"I thought the ground, being so tacky, might not suit the horse, to be honest. We thought Mitchouka was the main one, but he got badly hampered. Jack got a lovely position on Veneer Of Charm. The horse looked a bit green but even if he never wins again, it is job done. He's well enough handicapped on the Flat so he could be a horse you see on the Flat for a bit of craic this summer."
 
Asked how it felt to have a Festival treble, Elliott replied: "Last night I was trying to get a Ryanair flight home [after a winnerless day], and I was in bed by half past nine. It won't be the same tonight!"
