Lord Windermere won a thrilling renewal of the Cheltenham Gold Cup for trainer Jim Culloty and jockey Davy Russell.

Last season's RSA Chase winner, sent off a 20-1 outsider, was all out to hold the rallying On His Own by a short head, with The Giant Bolster a further three-quarters of a length away in third place.



Defending champion Bobs Worth held every chance at the final fence when jumping it just behind leader Silviniaco Conti, but both of them were passed on the run-in.

Ruby Walsh's Cheltenham Festival came to a premature end after a crashing fall in the first race left him nursing a broken arm.

The rider was diagnosed with a compound fracture of his right humerus, the bone in the upper arm, after parting company with Abbyssial in the JCB Triumph Hurdle.
