Donegal jockey Conor Orr rode Colonel Mustard to third place in the McCoy Contractors County Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham this afternoon.
Orr’s mount was a 13/2 shot and came in behind the winner, the 11/4 favourite State Man, trained by Willie Mullins and ridden by Paul Townend, and second placed First Street, who was a 16/1 shot.
Colonel Mustard, trained by Lorna Fowler, was just three lengths off the winner in a tight finish to the Grade 3 race.
