De Boinville into third as Harrys enjoy fruitful third day 

Nico De Boinville moved up from fourth to third in the race to be the David Power Jockeys’ Cup champion on Thursday thanks to a runner-up effort on Jeriko Du Reponet in the Pertemps Final, won by his stablemate Doddiethgreat. 

Those eight points were enough to see the Seven Barrows jockey overtake Sam Twiston-Davies, though it still leaves him trailing second-placed Harry Cobden – who picked up 10 points on the day thanks to first-race winner Caldwell Potter – by 28 points. 

Cobden, in turn, trails Jockeys’ Cup leader Harry Skelton by 80 points after the leader picked up 10 points on day three of the Cheltenham Festival thanks to placed efforts for Catch Him Derry, who was third in the Pertemps, and  Protektorat, who was fourth in the Ryanair Chase.
