Sligo jockey Derek Fox rode Corach Rambler to victory for the second year in a row on the opening day of the Cheltenham 2023 racing festival.
The horse gave Fox his first Cheltenham winner in the Ultima Handicap 12 months ago, and here, the pair repeated the feat with a stirring finish to Tuesday's race.
