    Al Boum Photo became the first horse since Best Mate in 2004 to win back-to-back Cheltenham Gold Cups in a thrilling finish.

    The 10-3 favourite, ridden by Paul Townend, jumped the fourth and third last fences superbly to move into contention in a keenly contested race.

    He got in a great position coming down the Cheltenham hill and held on to beat Santini (5-1) by a neck.

    Lost In Translation (10-1) was third, ahead of Rachael Blackmore's Monalee.

    So close! Photo finish needed as Indefatigable and Pileon cross the line at pretty much the same time.

    Right then, this is it - the final race of the festival. After a false start - the first of the day - we are under way.

    The Gold Cup trophy is lovely and all but look at the trophy for the St. James's Place Foxhunter Challenge Cup! Massive.

  15. Mullins to have the final say?published at 17:07 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2020

    Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle (17:30 GMT)

    Final race of the 2020 Festival and a last chance to possibly get some money back!

    Gordon Elliott won this in 2017 and 2018 and saddled the second and third last year.

    This time, he has Column of Fire, The Bosses Oscar, Escaria Ten, who all have good chances, and outsider Everybreathyoutake.

    This is another race where Willie Mullins has gone well with three wins in the last nine runnings and Five O'Clock could be his best chance while last year's winning team of jockey Jonjo O'Neill junior, Joseph O'Brien and JP McManus will also hope that Front View can follow in the footsteps of Early Doors.

    The former Wigan chairman David Sharpe will be happy with that...
