Day four of the 2024 Cheltenham Festival saw Galopin Des Champs etch his name into sporting folklore as he recorded successive victories in Jump Racing's Blue Riband event, the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

In what was the 100th running of the race, the eight-year-old and jockey Paul Townend produced a dazzling display to provide the rider and trainer Willie Mullins with their fourth wins in the race.

Mullins ended the meeting on nine winners as he enjoyed a final day treble with Majborough (Triumph Hurdle) and Absurde (County Hurdle) also delivering for the Closutton maestro.

Townend enjoyed his best ever Festival ending with six wins, also teaming up with Absurde to complete the Ebor-County double.

Elsewhere on the card, Stellar Story landed a dramatic Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle, forming part of a double for Gordon Elliott who also landed the finale, the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle with Better Days Ahead.

The Hunters' Chase went the way of Yorkshire and the Fiona Needham-trained Sine Nomine, whilst Limerick Lace led home a 1-2 for owner JP McManus in the Mares' Chase.
