    We've had a drying day, the sun has been in and out, and the conditions have come right for Wonderwall.

    Rob James will be a well known figure in Irish racing, amateur by name only. He is a master in the saddle, in this no pressure type of situation we have seen all week for horses at the big prices.

    Joe Gibney: Now imagine inothewayurthinkin over an extra mile. Already the Grand National favourite before today, the others may not see which way he goes. The mighty Galopin Des Champs loses nothing in defeat, another fine run.

    Inothewayurthinkin is now as short as 3-1 for the Grand National - which is just 22 days away.

    Gavin Cromwell, trainer of Inothewayurthinkin, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It's unbelievable. It's probably going to take a while to sink in, I'm absolutely thrilled. On the better ground, it looked to be flat out. Jumped well on the whole. They went really hard and I knew that would help us.

    "He's an improving horse. He improved through the season last season and he's been fantastic."

    Galopin Des Champs' jockey Paul Townend on ITV Racing: "Everything seemed to be an effort. But he has run a blinder and finished second. It is disappointing but he gave people something to shout about for a while.

    "Initially, I was wondering was the ground too lively, but he wasn’t good enough on the day."

    Like me, if any of you love The Lord of the Rings then Mordor is running in the next race.

    Wonder if Sauron's the jockey?

    We're just 20 minutes away from the final race of this year's Cheltenham Festival.

    Think I'm feeling emotional! Roll on the Grand National, I say.

    The pundits on Sports Extra are debating their favourite Oasis songs following victory for Wonderwall.

    Not one has said Some Might Say. Poor.

    Winning jockey Rob James on ITV Racing: "It’s unbelievable. I probably got to the front a bit too soon but the line came in time.

    "This is the biggest race for an amateur – the one you want to win. I can’t thank Sam and the owners enough."

    Wonderwall won his last two starts in point to point. Smuggled into it, came down the hill and went on.

    Poor old Its On The Line, the third time he has been second in this race.

    Its On The Line, you thought he might outstay Wonderwall, but Rob James is such a canny rider.

    Wonderwall has the lead going into the last fence and he clears it!

    The field is spread as they make the turn for home but it's Shearer who still leads.

    Shearer continues to lead the way and is going strongly. Bardenstown Lad in second will also fancy his chances with six fences to go.
