Incredible stuff from Jody Townend to burst through at the very end and cross the line for her first Cheltenham win.

Bambino Fever has now taken part in four races and won them all. Could we have another star on our hands here?

1 Bambino Fever (Miss J Townend) 4-1

2 Heads Up (S Bowen) 33-1

3 Shuttle Diplomacy (D Meyler) 66-1

17 ran

Bambino Fever's turbo kicked in and she has turned out a good winner in the end.

Bambino Fever takes the win for Willie Mullins!

Jody Townend, the sister of Paul, claims the first win for a female jockey at this year's Festival. Great stuff!

Here comes Bambino Fever...

He Can't Dance and No Drama This End are tracking Heads Up closely as they take the turn for the straight..

Nice tempo being set, Patrick Mullins taking a wide route he often takes in this race on Copacabana.

We're about halfway through this race now and they're very nicely bunched.

Heads Up still leads the way.

No Drama This End was a big money purchase, Paul Nicholls spent £160,000. I saw him in a point to point recently and he was very impressive. I just wonder if he is next year's horse.

Was waiting for the first jump but then quickly remembered this is the only race at the Festival without any!

Heads Up leads the pack by about a length.

Highland Haven is a non-runner in this race as we get under way for the final race of day two!

The 17 horses are trotting around slowly as they make their way to the start line.

Willie Mullins' Bambino Fever goes off the 3-1 favourite with Gordon Elliott's Kalypso'chance going off 10-3.

We've got 15 other horses running in this race, so plenty of value if that's what you look for.

For the final race of the day, we have a bit of a special one - this is the only race across the Festival that has no hurdles or fences to jump.

It is for horses who are yet to begin their jumping careers and is seen as a starting point for many top-class hurdlers and chasers.

Romeo Coolio finished third in this race last year and went on to again finish third in the opening race of the day yesterday.

Let's take a look at a preview for the final race of the day then - the Champion Bumper.

Hopefully, another good one to cap off a fine day of racing!

Mervin Gray, part of the Top Man Racing Syndicate who own Jazzy Matty, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra: "We just can't believe it, we knew we had a great chance. He loves this hill, he has proved it before. What a day, a very special moment.

"There's somebody looking over us today, it can only be one man.

"Danny [Gilligan] did well, gave him plenty of space. We are overwhelmed."

Marine Nationale and Jazzy Matty were the two horses Michael O'Sullivan rode to victory on the opening day of Cheltenham two years ago. They have won races back to back today.

It is surreal, I have hairs standing up on the back of my neck.

Mervin Gray, part of the Top Man Racing Syndicate who own Jazzy Matty speaking to ITV Racing: "That was some performance from Jazzy Matty. We knew he had more in the tank. Should we mention Michael O'Sullivan as well? What a legend. We're all overcome.

"Somebody is watching over us today and it's only one man, credit to him."

Jazzy Matty jockey Danny Gilligan speaking to ITV Racing: "I think we all know there is someone very special looking down on this, especially with Marine Nationale earlier and now this. Someone very special is looking down at us today.

"He never missed a beat, it's all down to the lads who do the work every day. I'm just thrilled to get the result."

It was written in the stars.

Jazzy Matty was the other horse Michael O'Sullivan rode to victory at Cheltenham two years ago.

Irish jockey O'Sullivan, who died in a fall last month, won the Fred Winter Hurdle for trainer Gordon Elliott in 2023.
