A comfortable win by five or six lengths in the end. I hope Liverpool footballer James Milner's wife lumped on.

Mrs Milner is over the last by a nose and is stretching for the line...

Up to the last hurdle.... Potters Hedger still out in front with Mrs Milner right behind...

Kansas City Chief, who unseated rider earlier in the race, is causing a nuisance among the leaders by coming up the inside.

There are about seven or eight horses leading the pack. In fact, they have been leading for about quarter of a mile. Have they got the staying power?

Good pace this. Five to go.

Kansas City Chief is out after Millie Wonnacott is unseated too. The riderless horse stays in the pack.

Potters Hedger and Redford Road continue to lead a tightly-packed field as they complete the first circuit.

Storm Goddess unseats rider Tom Buckley at the third hurdle as Redford Road sets the pace.

Everyone safely over the first of 12 hurdles.

Game on.

We have 22 runners in the next race. Quite an open field, according to the experts.

The horses are being led towards the starter, although they are quite a way back as they jostle for position.

Here we go... they are called forward and are trotting around the bend...

I hope Frank Bruno has backed Unowhatimeanharry...

Imperial Alcazar has been the ante-post favourite for this one as trainer Fergal O'Brien chases a first Festival winner.

He won well last time out on heavy ground, beating Come On Teddy, who he opposes again, but today's ground will be better than that.

Nicky Henderson has a good challenger in Champagne Platinum while Denise Foster's The Bosses Oscar, leads the Irish challenge.

Less than 10 minutes until our second race of the day: the Pertemps Final Handicap Hurdle (3m, Grade 3).

Here's what you need to know...

All seems well with Envoi Allen who was safely led back in after that fall at the second fence.

Sent off the 4-9 favourite, he had been considered one of the week's Irish bankers, but anything can happen at Cheltenham.

Chantry House is a star in his own right and victory was a 70th Cheltenham Festival win for Lambourn trainer Nicky Henderson.

Thankfully there is some good news to report about Envoi Allen...

At the opposite end of the emotional rollercoaster to Envoi Allen, Jack Kennedy and connections are Chantry House, Nico de Boinville and Nicky Henderson.

And, of course... Paul Dean. He's the racing fan from Stockton who cashed out a £5 acca yesterday for £250,000.

Was there a camera on Paul watching the race? That would be pretty entertaining...

It has been a tough week for the British trainers so far but maybe this was the bit of luck they needed.

Nicky Henderson - what a trainer he is around here. His horses come to the fore on better ground and often struggle on softer ground. Maybe Chantry House could be aimed at Aintree now.

The slow trudge back down the track looks a painful one for Jack Kennedy. Head bowed, legs heavy, mind racing with reflection.
