Salubrious takes the Martin Pipe Conditional at the Cheltenham Festival ahead of favourite Gevrey Chambertin.

Salubrious has come first in the Martin Pipe Conditional on the fourth day of the Cheltenham Festival.

Gevrey Chambertin led the market at 11-4 before the race, but he failed to challenge Salubrious (16-1) and Double Ross to take the victory by dropping back with two to jump.

In Salubrious's win, which was led by jockey Harry Derham, trainer Paul Nicholls has clinched his first Festival win of the year.

Nagpur (33-1) finished second, Double Ross (14-1) nabbed third spot, and Make Your Mark (8-1) clinched fourth place.
