There has been a familiar âto me, to youâ pattern to the Triumph Hurdle since Tiger Roll won in 2014 as Ireland and England have traded top spot in the Festival juvenile contest ever since.

Others said their sleep was disturbed by engines running at the lorry entrance to the factory in Station Road, formerly owned by Heinz.
Albert Bartlett issued an apology.
