Lord Windermere wins the Gold Cup for Ireland

Lord Windermere came from last to first to snatch victory in the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Trained by Jim Culloty, who won three Gold Cups on Best Mate as a jockey, last year's RSA Chase hero just prevailed from On His Own after an amazing run to the line.

Silviniaco Conti led over the last, but he was collared by Davy Russell on Lord Windermere (20-1), who just held the Willie Mullins-trained On his Own (16-1) by a short head.

The Giant Bolster (14-1) stayed on strongly to finish third, three-quarters of a length away.

Celebrations were quickly put on hold, however, as a stewards' inquiry was called, however following a lengthy delay, Lord Windermere was confirmed as winner.

After two false starts, Knockara Beau was quickly away, although On His Own soon took it up while Lord Windermere was a few lengths detached in last place after a few fences.

Teaforthree and Lyreen Legend were others to join in with pace-making duties and then Last Instalment unseated his rider at the fifth-last fence.

Silviniaco Conti led three out and last year's Bobs Worth was also in with a chance as the pack closed in a wide-open race.

Lord Windermere joined in the fight late, but he veered right on the punishing dash to the line, resulting in an inquiry, as he just kept On His Own at bay.
