15:29 Vautour falls!

15:26 AND THEY’RE OFF in the Melling Chase!

15:18 Skelton says on Al Ferof:

“Al Ferof’s run at Cheltenham was just magical for a horse that’s now eleven years old. If Vautour hadn’t turned up then he would have won, so it’s simple maths really. If Vautour doesn’t run his race or falls today then we should win, and if Vautour runs to form then we’ll likely be second.”
