Galopin Des Champs was denied a third straight Gold Cup at the Cheltenham Festival after a stunning ride from Mark Walsh aboard Inothewayurthinkin.

Ridden by Paul Townend and trained by Willie Mullins, Galopin Des Champs was seeking to become only the fifth horse to win the marquee race on three separate occasions.

But the 1/2 favourite was denied down the home stretch as the Gavin Cromwell-trained Inothewayurthinkin surged home to take the crown at 15/2.

Earlier on Friday, there were more shocks in the JCB Triumph Hurdles as 100/1 outsider Poniros stormed to an unlikely victory.

Willie Mullins’ remarkable Cheltenham week continued with the Irish trainer picking up wins in the first four races of Friday’s action, but he was denied in the Gold Cup as he eyed a spot in the history books.
