The leaders in the 27 runner Coral Cup jump the final hurdle. Mark Walsh takes the honours, leading Bleu Berry home, a 20-1 shot.

The anticipation.

Altior finds his stride over the final fence. It’ll be Altior against Min down the home straight … and the favourite is pulling clear and wins the Champion Chase and remains unbeaten over fences. Nico De Boinville: ‘I was in serious trouble the whole way round. This isn’t his ground at all, but his jumping is great, he’s some horse. We had an Irish banker, how about an English banker? What a superstar he is, I’m lucky to ride him’.
