Tony McCoy erased any fears he had of leaving his final Cheltenham Festival without a winner to his name when masterminding a bold front-running success aboard Uxizandre in the Ryanair Chase.

The 19-times champion jockey showed his intention as soon at the tapes lifted, sending the 18-1 shot straight into an unchallenged lead in the two-mile-five-furlong contest.

Coneygree became the first novice to strike for 41 years when making most of the running in the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup.

The eight-year-old, trained by Mark Bradstock and ridden by Nico de Boinville, took the blue riband prize of steeplechasing on only his fourth race over fences.

The success fully vindicated the decision to bypass the RSA Chase earlier in the week and run in the Gold Cup instead.
