Ruby Walsh hopes there is another day for Silviniaco Conti after his fall in the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Paul Nicholls' classy chaser was still travelling well within himself on the heels of the leaders, with eventual winner Bobs Worth behind him, only to crumple on landing three out.

MULLINS HAILS CHAMPS PERFORMANCE.

Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up Sir Des Champs could make his next appearance at the Punchestown Festival.
Willie Mullins' ace gave Tony McCoy a great spin and looked the likely winner when taking the lead off Long Run at the top of the straight, only to be pegged back by Bobs Worth, and he eventually crossed the line seven lengths adrift.
Mullins said: "It was a hell of a run. He didn't appear to travel as well as he normally does and Tony was all the time niggling him. He jumped well enough and Tony was keen to be handy, he has lots of experience around here so I was happy enough to leave it to him."
