The Queen is set to distance herself from the ruler of Dubai after a court ruled that he abducted and detained his daughters against their will .
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum `` ordered and orchestrated '' the abduction and forced return to Dubai of Sheikha Shamsa , then 19 , in August 2000 and her sister Sheikha Latifa twice , in 2002 and again in 2018 , according to a damning judgment published on Thursday .
The confirmation of long-standing rumours surrounding Sheikh Mohammed 's two daughters came out of his legal battle with ex-wife Princess Haya Bint @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of King Abdullah II of Jordan , over their two children .
The Queen and Sheikh Mohammed have previously been pictured together at horse racing events and he has been invited to the Royal Box at Ascot .
But The Times reported she will `` refuse to be photographed with him or the princess in public '' following the court case .
Princess Haya asked the High Court to make a series of findings of fact about Sheikh Mohammed , in particular in relation to the kidnap and forcible detention of his two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ marriage almost two decades apart .
Shamsa , now 38 , was abducted from the streets of Cambridge on August 19 , 2000 , and has never been seen in public since .
Now Cambridgeshire Police have confirmed `` aspects '' of their 2001 probe - which found insufficient evidence to take any action - will be revisited , although the force insisted the investigation was no longer `` active '' .
A spokeswoman said : `` An investigation into the alleged abduction of Shamsa Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum in 2000 was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` With the evidence that was available to us this was insufficient to take any further action .
`` A review took place in 2017 and it was again concluded there was insufficient evidence to take any further action .
This is no longer an active investigation and we are not in contact with the victim .
`` The burden of proof and evidential requirements are significantly different in family court proceedings to that of criminal proceedings , however , in light of the recent release of the judgment , aspects of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ review . ''
At the High Court , Princess Haya asked Sir Andrew McFarlane , the most senior family judge in England and Wales , to make findings of fact about Sheikh Mohammed in relation to his application for contact with their daughter Al Jalila , 12 , and son Zayed , eight .
Sir Andrew explained in his judgment that `` a substantial element in the extreme concern ( Princess Haya ) has for the future well-being of her children arises from her belief that Shamsa and Latifa have been and are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basis '' .
In his judgment , Sir Andrew said Shamsa contacted an immigration solicitor - who can not be named for legal reasons - in June 2000 , saying she was estranged from her father and asking for advice on how she might be able to remain in the UK .
The judge stated : `` He heard nothing further from her until he was informed by police in August 2000 that Shamsa may have been abducted . ''
But , in February 2001 , the solicitor received an email said to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of her sisters - which read : `` I was caught on August 19 , in Cambridge .
`` He ( Sheikh Mohammed ) sent four Arab men to catch me , they were carrying guns and threatening me , they drove me to my father 's place in Newmarket , there they gave me two injections and a handful of tablets , the very next morning a helicopter came and flew me to the plane , which took me back to Dubai .
I am locked up until today . ''
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this would happen ...
I know these people , they have all the money , they have all the power , they think they can do anything . ''
Shamsa also provided another account of her abduction , leaving an answerphone message on the telephone of a complete stranger on August 21 , saying she had been returned to Dubai against her will and asking for her solicitor to be informed .
DCI David Beck led Cambridgeshire Police 's investigation into her disappearance , and discovered the arrival and departure of a helicopter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 5am on August 20 .
The officer sought permission from the Crown Prosecution Service to visit Dubai to interview potential witnesses , but his request was refused .
At a hearing in November , Princess Haya 's barrister Charles Geekie QC told the court that DCI Beck 's evidence made clear that there had been `` interference '' in the police inquiry .
In his judgment , Sir Andrew said the Foreign and Commonwealth Office ( FCO ) had confirmed it held `` information relating to the investigation of Shamsa 's alleged kidnapping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disclose it , saying that `` releasing information on this issue would increase public knowledge about our relations with UAE '' and `` would reduce the UK Government 's ability to protect and promote UK interests through its relations with UAE which would not be in the public interest '' .
Sir Andrew concluded : `` It is not possible to find on the balance of probability that permission for Mr Beck to visit Dubai was refused because of the direct intervention of the FCO , nor , moving further still from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the FCO had been triggered by the father or the government of Dubai . ''
Latifa 's high-profile attempt to flee the UAE in 2018 became public after a video account of her abduction and imprisonment at the hands of her father was published on YouTube in March of that year .
But her failed bid for freedom was not the first time she tried to leave the emirate , having attempted to run away in 2002 before being stopped at the border with Oman and returned to the family home .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ she was held against her will after that escape attempt until October 2005 , during which time she was subjected to `` constant torture '' .
The judge added that `` the cooperation of the Indian military in the operation to capture Latifa '' demonstrated Sheikh Mohammed and the UAE 's significant international respect and influence .
Latifa was seen in public in December 2018 , when Princess Haya invited her friend Mary Robinson - former president of Ireland - to visit Dubai to establish `` proof of life '' .
The ruler @ @ @ @ @ @ @ letter to the United Nations later that month that Latifa was `` alive , safe and in the loving care of her family at their Dubai residences '' .
Princess Haya 's lawyers wanted both Shamsa and Latifa to give evidence about their treatment at their father 's hands .
But , in his evidence to the court , Sheikh Mohammed claimed : `` I saw both of my daughters on August 27 2019 and I explained that Princess Haya 's solicitors wanted to speak to them .
`` Both Shamsa and Latifa @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do this .
I gave them both the opportunity to take independent legal advice , so that they could take an informed decision about whether and how to become involved in these proceedings . ''
Sir Andrew rejected that contention , stating that he did not accept that `` Shamsa and Latifa have been given a free choice about engaging in this court process and communicating directly in some way either with the mother in these proceedings or the court '' .

The monarch has previously been seen in public with horse-racing fan Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and he has been invited to the Royal Box at Ascot in the past
The Queen is set to distance herself from the ruler of Dubai after a court ruled that he abducted and detained his daughters against their will.

The confirmation of long-standing rumours surrounding Sheikh Mohammed's two daughters came out of his legal battle with ex-wife Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, 45, the half-sister of King Abdullah II of Jordan, over their two children.

thedailymirror--2020-03-07--Boy, 8, knows dad has run out of money when he opens fridge and finds it empty

Little Oscar Casey knows when his dad has run out of money - he opens the fridge and it is empty .
But Oscar knows they will never go hungry - thanks to the work of the L6 community centre .
In the shadow of Everton FC ’ s Goodison Park ground , it ’ s a lifeline for thousands of families like Oscar ’ s .
It runs a food bank , a baby bank , a school uniform “ shop ” , a youth club , holiday club , a free launderette and much , much more .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ government funding at all , relying instead on grants , donations and fundraising - thousands of families would literally not be able to survive .
Oscar spoke to the Mirror as we launch our Give Me Five campaign .
We are calling on Boris Johnson to increase child benefit by £5 a week to end the scourge of child poverty .
Oscar , eight , says : “ I love coming here as I get to play with my friends .
And the food is really good - my favourite tea is Shepherd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my dad only gets money on a Thursday and sometimes he runs out .
I open the fridge sometimes and there is no food .
If he got an extra £5 a week he would be able to get more shopping in for us.
” Oscar ’ s dad Danny is one of L6 ’ s success stories .
Eight years ago he was drinking , taking drugs , living on the streets - and his newborn son was on the verge of being adopted .
But with the support of L6 ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ managed to turn his life around - and get custody of his son .
Gerard says : “ Nothing shocks me any more .
I ’ ve known families go without food for five days before coming to us for help .
We buy beds for children who have been sleeping on the sofa or a mattress on the floor because their parents can ’ t afford to buy them a bed .
“ We are just a community centre - we should be putting on ballroom dancing , bingo and youth clubs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the work we do is around poverty .
“ Last year we made almost 125,000 donations of food , clothes , toys and hampers .
We sent out 2,500 Christmas dinners .
On Christmas Eve we open until midnight because people who have been too proud to ask for help before then panic and come to us as they have nothing to give their kids for Christmas .
“ I remember two years ago we got a call late Christmas Eve - we went round and the family had nothing .
And the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Christmas tree on the wall because they couldn ’ t afford to buy a tree .
“ I came back to the centre , took down all our decorations and took them round to that family ’ s house , along with toys and food.
” We spent the day at the centre to see first-hand the work they do on the very frontline of Britain ’ s poverty crisis .
It is 10am on Monday morning and there is a queue of people snaking around the L6 building .
It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s new food union project - where people can pay £3.50 and choose 10 “ luxury ” items of shopping .
Things that most of us would see as bare essentials are classed as luxuries here - toilet roll , shampoo , nappies , sanitary products , toothpaste .
These are things that parents would otherwise have to go without if they want to feed their children .
Families have to make tough choices here - feed their kids , or heat their home , or buy toilet roll .
Gerard says : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here the other day .
He ran straight to the loo and was in and out in a minute .
I said to him “ that was quick ” and he said I just had to go in and wipe my bum as we have no loo roll at home.
” That is the stark reality of how tough things are for people around here .
Gerard decided to launch the food union as he knows that out of pride people are reluctant to go to a food bank .
This way they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shopping and don ’ t feel like they are accepting charity .
Looking through the centre ’ s referral files - where teachers , doctors and social workers refer families in desperate of need of help - makes sobering reading .
Family after family unable to feed their children due to changes in their benefits , working parents unable to make ends meet , women fleeing domestic violence .
And two words keep being repeated over and over again ... .. Universal Credit .
Since the introduction of the controversial benefit , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in referrals .
Universal Credit was rolled out in Liverpool in December 2018 , and since then delays in payments , sanctions and reduction of benefits have all taken their toll .
Gerard says : “ The payment now goes to one person in the household .
So if the dad misses an appointment at the job centre , the whole family ’ s money can be stopped .
For me , if the dad does something wrong , stop his money , but don ’ t stop the money for the kids @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cent of working people are still living in poverty .
A lot of our mothers are proud to work - but they are on zero hours contracts so they don ’ t know how much money they will be earning from one month to the next .
They might sign their child up for a school trip - but then the next month their hours get cut and they can ’ t afford it.
” But Universal Credit and zero hours contracts aren ’ t the only problem in Liverpool Six .
Gerard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sharks who prey on the most vulnerable , and drug abuse is also a big issue .
He says : “ The loan sharks all have their own patches - 14 streets each - and the don ’ t stray onto each other ’ s patch .
We had one woman who took out a £500 loan - which with interest then spiralled to £80,000 .
She was forced into prostitution to try to pay it back and provide for her kids .
“ Drugs are so cheap - they can get a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the drug dealers waiting on the corner outside school for the parents after they have dropped their kids off .

EXCLUSIVE: In the shadow of Everton FC’s Goodison Park ground, the L6 community centre is a lifeline for Oscar, 8, without which the young boy would surely starve
Boy, 8, knows dad has run out of money when he opens fridge and finds it empty
Little Oscar Casey knows when his dad has run out of money - he opens the fridge and it is empty.
But Oscar knows they will never go hungry - thanks to the work of the L6 community centre.
In the shadow of Everton FC’s Goodison Park ground, it’s a lifeline for thousands of families like Oscar’s.
It runs a food bank, a baby bank, a school uniform “shop”, a youth club, holiday club, a free launderette and much, much more.
Without the L6 - which gets no government funding at all, relying instead on grants, donations and fundraising - thousands of families would literally not be able to survive.
Oscar spoke to the Mirror as we launch our Give Me Five campaign . We are calling on Boris Johnson to increase child benefit by £5 a week to end the scourge of child poverty.

Oscar, eight, says: “I love coming here as I get to play with my friends. And the food is really good - my favourite tea is Shepherd’s Pie.
“I know my dad only gets money on a Thursday and sometimes he runs out. I open the fridge sometimes and there is no food. If he got an extra £5 a week he would be able to get more shopping in for us.”
Oscar’s dad Danny is one of L6’s success stories. Eight years ago he was drinking, taking drugs, living on the streets - and his newborn son was on the verge of being adopted.
But with the support of L6’s chief executive Gerard Woodhouse, Danny managed to turn his life around - and get custody of his son.
Gerard says: “Nothing shocks me any more. I’ve known families go without food for five days before coming to us for help. We buy beds for children who have been sleeping on the sofa or a mattress on the floor because their parents can’t afford to buy them a bed.
“We are just a community centre - we should be putting on ballroom dancing, bingo and youth clubs. But instead 90 per cent of the work we do is around poverty.
“Last year we made almost 125,000 donations of food, clothes, toys and hampers. We sent out 2,500 Christmas dinners. On Christmas Eve we open until midnight because people who have been too proud to ask for help before then panic and come to us as they have nothing to give their kids for Christmas.
“I remember two years ago we got a call late Christmas Eve - we went round and the family had nothing. And the saddest thing was the kids had drawn a Christmas tree on the wall because they couldn’t afford to buy a tree.
“I came back to the centre, took down all our decorations and took them round to that family’s house, along with toys and food.”

We spent the day at the centre to see first-hand the work they do on the very frontline of Britain’s poverty crisis.
It is 10am on Monday morning and there is a queue of people snaking around the L6 building.
It is the first day of the centre’s new food union project - where people can pay £3.50 and choose 10 “luxury” items of shopping.
Things that most of us would see as bare essentials are classed as luxuries here - toilet roll, shampoo, nappies, sanitary products, toothpaste. These are things that parents would otherwise have to go without if they want to feed their children. Families have to make tough choices here - feed their kids, or heat their home, or buy toilet roll.
Gerard says: “I had one little boy in here the other day. He ran straight to the loo and was in and out in a minute. I said to him “that was quick” and he said I just had to go in and wipe my bum as we have no loo roll at home.”
That is the stark reality of how tough things are for people around here.
Gerard decided to launch the food union as he knows that out of pride people are reluctant to go to a food bank.
This way they get to make a contribution to their shopping and don’t feel like they are accepting charity.
Looking through the centre’s referral files - where teachers, doctors and social workers refer families in desperate of need of help - makes sobering reading.
Family after family unable to feed their children due to changes in their benefits, working parents unable to make ends meet, women fleeing domestic violence.
And two words keep being repeated over and over again..... Universal Credit . Since the introduction of the controversial benefit, the L6 has seen a 40 percent increase in referrals.
Image: Julian Hamilton/Daily Mirror) Julian Hamilton/Daily Mirror)
Universal Credit was rolled out in Liverpool in December 2018, and since then delays in payments, sanctions and reduction of benefits have all taken their toll.
Gerard says: “The payment now goes to one person in the household. So if the dad misses an appointment at the job centre, the whole family’s money can be stopped. For me, if the dad does something wrong, stop his money, but don’t stop the money for the kids.
“In this area 52 per cent of working people are still living in poverty. A lot of our mothers are proud to work - but they are on zero hours contracts so they don’t know how much money they will be earning from one month to the next. They might sign their child up for a school trip - but then the next month their hours get cut and they can’t afford it.”
But Universal Credit and zero hours contracts aren’t the only problem in Liverpool Six. Gerard says the area is rife with loan sharks who prey on the most vulnerable, and drug abuse is also a big issue.
He says: “The loan sharks all have their own patches - 14 streets each - and the don’t stray onto each other’s patch. We had one woman who took out a £500 loan - which with interest then spiralled to £80,000. She was forced into prostitution to try to pay it back and provide for her kids.
“Drugs are so cheap - they can get a hit for a tenner. You see the drug dealers waiting on the corner outside school for the parents after they have dropped their kids off. They wait outside the local shops, the post office - first thing in the morning when people have taken their money out.”
Gerard says that another major fear for mums in this area is having their children removed by social services.
He says: “I went to a safeguarding meeting last week where they were worried because the mum wasn’t taking her baby with her to school when she dropped her older children off. I asked her why she wasn’t taking the baby with her - it was because she didn’t have a pram.”

One desperate mum-to-be has come to the centre for help this morning. Rosemary Connolly, 38, is seven months months pregnant, her boyfriend has been jailed and she doesn’t have a single thing ready for her baby girl’s arrival - no cot, no pram, not even a baby bottle - and she has no money to buy anything.
She explains: “I’ve only got 8 weeks until my baby is due but I haven’t got a thing. My boyfriend just smoked weed all the time - that’s where all his money and my money went.
“I get £238 a fortnight benefits but that is to pay for everything - food, electricity, travel. I can barely survive day to day on that - never mind having to try to pay for all the stuff you need for a baby.
“I’ve offended in the past and I could go out and shoplift the stuff but I’d be terrified of getting caught and having my baby taken away.
“There are times when I’ve had to miss meals because I’ve got no money - I think that is why my baby bump is so small.
“I’ve had pre-eclampsia because of the stress - I was terrified of going into labour and not having the stuff for the baby. You don’t want to admit to anyone that you’ve got nothing - you don’t want people to judge you or look down on you.”

The centre has its own “baby bank” - a shipping container in the car park filled to the brim with everything a new mum would need for her baby - all brand new.
Volunteer Irene Rainey helps Rosemary pick out everything she needs for her baby girl - who she is going to call Fleur - from a cot, pram and car seat, down to vests, nappies and babygros.
Rosemary’s eyes fills with tears as she is handed £1,800 worth of essentials for her unborn child.
She says: “I just feel so relieved to have been able to come here - it is like a weight lifted from me. I feel like Gerard is my guardian angel. I’m crying now because I am so relieved and grateful. I feel like I’ve won the lottery.”
Irene also runs the centre’s “uniform shop” - another shipping container full of school uniforms from dozens of pairs of brand new school shoes, to winter coats, PE kits, and branded school sweatshirts.
Every child referred can get £100 worth of brand new uniform - and last year the centre kitted out almost 5,000 children - with 39 per cent of those being kids whose parents work on zero hour contracts.
Irene explains: “Some of them are in desperate situations through no fault of their own.
“There are mums who have four or five kids but can’t feed them as they have been waiting eight weeks for their universal credit.

Goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane saw Liverpool's charge to the league title return get back on track, despite conceding early on to a Callum Wilson goal.
Bournemouth took a shock lead against Liverpool through Wilson after just nine minutes with the goal standing after a VAR check.
Wilson appeared to shove Joe Gomez off the ball, continuing a run to sidefoot home Jefferson Lerma's cross with Reds boss Jurgen Klopp urging the Main Stand to raise the noise levels.
And Salah obliged, collecting a wayward pass from Mane before tucking the ball home.
The Reds took the lead soon after, with Mane slotting past Ramsdale from Virgil van Dijk's through-ball on 33 minutes.
Liverpool struggled to create clear-cut chances throughout the second-half and were often wasteful in attack, but the win was all-but secured as Philip Billing went down in the final ten minutes - leaving the visitors to play out the rest of the match with the midfielder struggling to move around the pitch.
Bournemouth saw a great chance to equalise in injury time foiled by the offside before Roberto Firmino should have secured the three points at the other end.
The result leaves Liverpool just three wins from the title and poised for the visit of Atletico Madrid, while the Cherries remain in the drop zone.


thedailymirror--2020-03-07--Like playing for Liverpool FC: Amateur David Maxwell takes aim at Cheltenham 2020

For a man whose nine-to-five revolves around investments , David Maxwell is the first to admit his hobby was not the wisest move .
The have-a-go hero for middle aged men dying to release the daredevil within has amassed quite a string of racehorses , some worth six figures alone .
Numbering 20 at the last count , the growing collection have pitted the enthusiastic amateur against the professionals at many of the UK 's best tracks .
Racing 's version of a little-known footballer taking on Liverpool with his teammates has even conquered Cheltenham this season , the top @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` Gosh that was fun , '' said Maxwell , grinning from ear to ear .
`` Any winner at Cheltenham is huge , especially in front of a big crowd .
There 's an atmosphere at that place there like nowhere else .
`` It is such a privilege as an amateur to go out in front of 50,000 people and a knowledgeable , interested crowd .
`` It 's like being in front of the Anfield supporters .
They know what they are looking at , if it 's total rubbish @ @ @ @ @ @ @ amateur you have to execute it properly and that was a lovely horse Jatiluwih at the November Meeting , he 's a proper animal .
He was pretty much a steering job .
As Jurgen Klopp has taken his team to the summit of English football , Maxwell has an amateur jockeys ' title to call his own .
The Reds are unbeaten this season , but this certain sportsman readily acknowledges he is not in the same league as the weighing room 's elite .
Whizzing over obstacles on a half-a-tonne animal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 41-year-old , but Maxwell was never going to be a mere spectator .
`` I probably have more horses than I ever have done now and it 's still a hobby , '' he said .
`` It 's a habit of middle-aged men to get a pastime and then go absolutely nuts at it , ride the fastest bike they can and wear the most lycra .
`` This is my version at fast racing pace .
`` As long as the horses jump well I 'm perfectly happy .
I like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mutterings of discontent came forth on a couple of occasions this season , interrupting Maxwell 's impressive 31 per cent strike rate for winners .
Six lengths in front and apparently in cruise control , Zizaneur unshipped the plucky jockey onto the Taunton turf during a race in January .
Two weeks later , a severe bout of cramp forced Maxwell to quit on the hard-pulling Bob and Co in a hunter chase at Warwick .
And that is not all .
`` I fell off Cat Tiger before he won at Auteuil @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` It happened when we went down to the start to jump the practice fence .
I had n't long bought the horse , seen him once and now he was loose galloping around the course .
`` The French were all laughing at this stupid Englishman .
`` Thankfully I caught him , got back on and he won a Grade Three , winning about a third of his purchase price in the process .
`` So it turned out well in the end ! ''
Jockey coach David Crosse has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Maxwell to dust himself down and start all over again .
The Bob and Co hiccup was soon forgotten when the pair made amends at Bangor last month .
And now the Foxhunter Chase at the Cheltenham Festival , which Maxwell finished second in last year on Shantou Flyer , is looming .
`` David has made the biggest difference to my riding , what I should do , where I should be in a race and my fitness , '' said Maxwell .
`` He will review every race and tell me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ways to improve .
`` But the basic rule is to try and not make a fool of myself , or mess it up . ''
Inbetween pulling on his breeches , briefs from his trainers and hurtling his way around whichever racecourse takes his fancy , Maxwell keeps one eye on the day job .
In European real estate , there may be an office or a shopping centre to sell .
But win or lose , there 's always the temptation of another equine deal just around the corner .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nobody ever wants or needs one , '' he said .
`` My agent will ring up and say 'David I think we should really get this one ' and I 'm only just getting over the pain of buying the last horse .
`` I rode one of my new horses Stratagem the other day and he nearly bucked me off walking down the road .
I thought we should tell him the French for hire purchase !
`` The nice thing about racing as opposed to other equestrian sports is you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and a half hours from start to finish .
`` The action is done in about six minutes .
You can get back on the phone and do some work .
`` There is literally nothing better , or more terrifying than lining up at the start of a two mile chase where they are going proper quick over fences .
`` It 's a life affirming moment where it can go very badly wrong quite quickly , but at the same time with nice horses it 's unbelievable fun .
`` Also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and where it is going to go to .
`` It 's like being a virtual football manager .
You get your team ready and work closely with the trainers and that 's an important relationship .

Take a look around Colin Tizzard's yard ahead of the Cheltenham Festival
The property investor rides racehorses in his spare time away from his London office and he will be competing in the Foxhunter Chase, after the 2020 Gold Cup
For a man whose nine-to-five revolves around investments, David Maxwell is the first to admit his hobby was not the wisest move.
The have-a-go hero for middle aged men dying to release the daredevil within has amassed quite a string of racehorses, some worth six figures alone.
Numbering 20 at the last count, the growing collection have pitted the enthusiastic amateur against the professionals at many of the UK's best tracks.
Racing's version of a little-known footballer taking on Liverpool with his teammates has even conquered Cheltenham this season, the top of the National Hunt Premier League.
"Gosh that was fun," said Maxwell, grinning from ear to ear.
"Any winner at Cheltenham is huge, especially in front of a big crowd. There's an atmosphere at that place there like nowhere else.

"It is such a privilege as an amateur to go out in front of 50,000 people and a knowledgeable, interested crowd.
"It's like being in front of the Anfield supporters. They know what they are looking at, if it's total rubbish or not.
"Even as an amateur you have to execute it properly and that was a lovely horse Jatiluwih at the November Meeting, he's a proper animal. He was pretty much a steering job.
"It was a huge thrill."
As Jurgen Klopp has taken his team to the summit of English football, Maxwell has an amateur jockeys' title to call his own.
The Reds are unbeaten this season, but this certain sportsman readily acknowledges he is not in the same league as the weighing room's elite.
Whizzing over obstacles on a half-a-tonne animal might not be fun for your average 41-year-old, but Maxwell was never going to be a mere spectator.
"I probably have more horses than I ever have done now and it's still a hobby," he said.
"It's a habit of middle-aged men to get a pastime and then go absolutely nuts at it, ride the fastest bike they can and wear the most lycra.
"This is my version at fast racing pace.
"As long as the horses jump well I'm perfectly happy. I like a nice safe conveyance."
Unfortunately mutterings of discontent came forth on a couple of occasions this season, interrupting Maxwell's impressive 31 per cent strike rate for winners.
Six lengths in front and apparently in cruise control, Zizaneur unshipped the plucky jockey onto the Taunton turf during a race in January.
Two weeks later, a severe bout of cramp forced Maxwell to quit on the hard-pulling Bob and Co in a hunter chase at Warwick.
And that is not all.
"I fell off Cat Tiger before he won at Auteuil last season," he recalled.
"It happened when we went down to the start to jump the practice fence. I hadn't long bought the horse, seen him once and now he was loose galloping around the course.
"The French were all laughing at this stupid Englishman.
"Thankfully I caught him, got back on and he won a Grade Three, winning about a third of his purchase price in the process.
"So it turned out well in the end!"
Jockey coach David Crosse has been one of the figures instrumental in encouraging Maxwell to dust himself down and start all over again.

The Bob and Co hiccup was soon forgotten when the pair made amends at Bangor last month.
And now the Foxhunter Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, which Maxwell finished second in last year on Shantou Flyer, is looming.
"David has made the biggest difference to my riding, what I should do, where I should be in a race and my fitness," said Maxwell.
"He will review every race and tell me what I got right and wrong, ways to improve.
"But the basic rule is to try and not make a fool of myself, or mess it up."

Inbetween pulling on his breeches, briefs from his trainers and hurtling his way around whichever racecourse takes his fancy, Maxwell keeps one eye on the day job.
In European real estate, there may be an office or a shopping centre to sell.
But win or lose, there's always the temptation of another equine deal just around the corner.
"I never want a new horse, nobody ever wants or needs one," he said.
"My agent will ring up and say 'David I think we should really get this one' and I'm only just getting over the pain of buying the last horse.
"I rode one of my new horses Stratagem the other day and he nearly bucked me off walking down the road. I thought we should tell him the French for hire purchase!
"The nice thing about racing as opposed to other equestrian sports is you turn up and it's about two and a half hours from start to finish.
"The action is done in about six minutes. You can get back on the phone and do some work.
Image: PA) PA)
"There is literally nothing better, or more terrifying than lining up at the start of a two mile chase where they are going proper quick over fences.
"It's a life affirming moment where it can go very badly wrong quite quickly, but at the same time with nice horses it's unbelievable fun.
"Also the plotting out- what horse you buy and where it is going to go to.
"It's like being a virtual football manager. You get your team ready and work closely with the trainers and that's an important relationship.
"It's just great fun being part of the sport and I love every second of it."
