Defending champion Galopin des Champs has won the Cheltenham Gold Cup on one of the biggest days in the jump racing calendar.

The 10-to-11 favourite, ridden by Paul Townend finished ahead of Gerri Colombe, with Corach Rambler in third.

Victory caps an historic meeting for Willie Mullins – who became the first trainer to notch 100 festival wins earlier this week at Prestbury Park.
