  1. Goodbye!

    Native River wins Cheltenham Gold Cup

    Right then folks, that's it...

    Thanks for sticking with us this week and I hope you've enjoyed our coverage of a wonderful Cheltenham Festival, capped by a stunning Gold Cup race.

    And hopefully you've all managed to make a few quid from the bookie! Cheerio.

  2. Post update

    Before we leave Cheltenham for another year *sobs* allow me to point you in the direction of our Gold Cup report.

    Native River - a 5-1 shot - won a thrilling duel with favourite Might Bite.

    Read our man Frank Keogh's account of the famous race, plus everything else that happened on Gold Cup Friday.

  3. Top of the pops

    So Le Prezien's victory for Paul Nicholls means that Gordon Elliott has finished the Festival as Leading Trainer.

    The Irishman clocked up EIGHT winners, equalling Willie Mullins' record set in 2015.

    And although Davy Russell fell short on Top Gamble in the final race, he has still finished as Leading Jockey with four winners.

    Put your hands together for both fellas. Nice work.

    Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase (17:30 GMT)

    Smiles all round as Barry Geraghty, who finally lands his first Festival winner this week, jumps off Le Prezien in the winners' enclosure.

    Better late than never is my motto.

  6. WINNER - Le Prezien

    Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase (17:30 GMT)

    Yep, Le Prezien - a 15-2 shot trained by Paul Nicholls - comes through the chaos to win.

    However, there is some concern on the course for both fallen horses and jockeys. There were a couple of big falls on the penultimate fence. More on that as we get it.

    Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase (17:30 GMT)

    Gino Trail stutters at the last, with a band of wild horses getting in the way. Confusion all over! Le Prezien appears to be taking advantage of Gino Trail's slip...

    Gino Trail is having a lovely time. North Hill Harvey is catching the eye.

    It's a relentless two-mile pace. North Hill Harvey is moving well on the outside. There is a mass of JP McManus horses in the middle of the field.

    The loose horse is providing the greatest threat to Gino Trail. The horse whose name we don't know is having a cracking race, running well, gliding over the fences. Who needs a jockey?

    Jockey on BBC Radio 5 live

    Top Gamble's stable mate Gino Trail is making the running, making it a solid pace.

    Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase (17:30 GMT)

    Two down at the first! Dresden is one, not sure about the other. A fast and furious start... Gino Trail is heading the field... and has just been joined at the front of a horse without a jockey...

    I thought Top Gamble had a decent chance, but I didn't think he'd start favourite. He's a mud-lover and off an attractive mark.

  14. Post update

    Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase (17:30 GMT)

    So, here we are. Bright New Dawn is having a paddy, refusing to go with the rest of the field. The starter isn't hanging about... we're off...

  15. Post update

    Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase (17:30 GMT)

    Top Gamble ain't no gamble. That's leading the betting market for the final race. This is your last chance to win big at Cheltenham, folks...

  16. Post update

    Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase (17:30 GMT)

    Elliott has won eight races this week, putting one clear of Willie Mullins who is hoping to pull level in the finale.

    Mullins has Townshend in the last. He's clearly a fan of The Who.

    Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase (17:30 GMT)

    The final race of the Festival is almost upon us. I know, I know. I feel sad and teary too.

    But there is still something to play for... the battle to finish as the top trainer this week.

    Gordon Elliott's hopeful The Game Changer has pulled out... could that be a, erm, game changer?

    Wait? Michael Dawson has a helicopter? Incredible.
