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.
