The 22 runners are on their way to the start for the penultimate race of the day.

Close Brothers Mares' Hurdle winning jockey Jack Kennedy, speaking to ITV Racing: "It's unbelievable. I'm absolutely delighted for the owners. It's great for 'Sneezy' Foster as well - a massive team effort goes into getting the horses here every year.

"She jumped and travelled unbelievably well. She came out of my hands at the last but luckily she was more tuned in than I was, and that was probably the difference between winning and losing."

There has been plenty of interest in Houx Gris in the build-up to this one.

Trained by Paul Nicholls, who has three previous victories in the race, he has run mostly in France with a third place at Chepstow in January his only UK appearance.

The Irish challenge is led by the Willie Mullins-trained Saint Sam, another former French challenger, while the well-respected Dermot Weld has his first Festival runner for five years with Coltor.

Black Tears' victory was a first of the Festival for Denise Foster, who took over Gordon Elliott's yard just last week.

Elliott has had his training licence suspended for a year - six months of which are suspended - by the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (IHRB) after being pictured sitting astride a dead horse.

Black Tears and Jack Kennedy - how brave at the last. Very tough very tenacious and needed every yard of it. She's very game and genuine.

Concertista was a bit untidy over the last couple of hurdles - did that cost her?

She's a very tough mare but Jack Kennedy was very brave at the last. When Concertista moved up I thought she would win, but Black Tears has dug deep and reversed the winter form.

Roksana was a bit lacklustre from the hill but these two Irish mares got past her.
