It looks as though Claret Cloak and Ned Buntline will begin the final race of the day as 6-1 joint-favourites. Next Sensation has drifted out to 7-1 with Mr Mole. Oscar Hill has gone charging off at full pelt. He's off home, not bothering with the race.

A 15-minute stewards' inquiry added to the suspense after a dramatic Gold Cup, which had been delayed by 10 minutes because of an injury to jockey Daryl Jacob. The result stood, but could potentially have been altered if stewards deemed the winner badly impeded his nearest rivals on the run-in.

Jockey David Casey, on the second horse On His Own, said he suffered interference from winner Lord Windermere veering into his path, telling the inquiry he would have won with a straight run. Russell responded by saying: "Without doubt, I am on the best horse in the race and I am never going to be passed the whole way."

Stewards' secretary Paul Barton acknowledged there was minor interference, but "on balance" did not think this had cost the runner-up victory.

An interesting subplot to the final race of the day is the fact that Barry Geraghty (Tanks For That) and Tom Scudamore (His Excellency) are still in contention for the top jockey award here at Cheltenham. If neither saddles a victory, the award will go to Ruby Walsh on countback.

Former jockey Luke Harvey: "I've known Jim Culloty, who trained Lord Windermere, for 20 years. He was a superb rider, won all the big races as a jockey. But this has been a red letter day for his training career.

"It was a break for him when he won the Kim Muir chase with Spring Heeled because before that you had to go back more than 200 days to find a winner. There were people doubting his ability as a trainer so this has been important for him."

AP McCoy will hope to finish his week with a winner and he's on Mr Mole, who he steered to victory at Warwick in December. AP has had just one winner at the Festival.

Looking ahead to the final race of the Festival, Next Sensation leads the betting followed by Claret Cloak and Ned Buntline.

Fancy something to impress your friends with down the pub tonight? Well, I can tell you that Jim Culloty, who trains Gold Cup winner Lord Windermere, is cousins with Tim Henman. Ok, maybe it's not that impressive - interesting nonetheless.

Channel 4 Racing on Twitter:, external Michael O'Leary has confirmed that Last Instalment has been retired after getting tired and unseating Brian O'Connell during the Gold Cup.

I'm sure some of you are wondering where Bobs Worth finished in the Gold Cup. Fifth!

And all that means we have just one race left in the 2014 Cheltenham Festival: the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase Challenge Cup Handicap.

Former jockey Luke Harvey: "Most of the horses that came into this race were exposed, Don Poli wasn't. This horse has won in straightforward fashion. Another winner for the Irish."

1. Don Poli (M P Fogarty) 12-1

2. Thomas Crapper (Joseph Palmowski) 10-1

3. Caid Du Berlais (Harry Derham) 9-1

4. Urbain De Sivola (Mr A Guerin) 33-1

And 12-1-priced Don Poli, trained by Willie Mullins with Mikey Fogarty riding, storms through to win the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle.

But he clips the final fence and Don Poli takes advantage...

Thomas Crapper is charging through the field now. He's looking dominant over second-placed Don Poli.

One Lucky Lady is also travelling well. Can Peter Carberry emulate brother Paul and get a winner on Gold Cup Day?

Dolatulo is making an early bid from the front while Vieux Lion Rouge is relishing being at the front of the pack too.

Former jockey Luke Harvey: "They are going along at cracking gallop here. This is going to be fast and furious."

Anyone on Urbain De Sivola? I hope not because he's way behind at the back.
