Sligo's Derek Fox finishes 3rd in Cheltenham Gold Cup

Sligo's Derek Fox finished third aboard 'Corach Rambler' in the 100th Cheltenham Gold Cup.

The Aintree Grand National winner was the back-marker for the first half of the race, but stayed on well to work his way through to finish third.

Corach Rambler was already a two-time Cheltenham festival winner - but this was the horse's first attempt at the showpiece race - the Gold Cup.

The race was won for the second year in a row by the Willie Mullins trained Galopin Des Champs.
