**4.00 Champion Hurdle** We can’t rule out State Man, though, and he pulls clear at the last … but with the race at his mercy, he falls at the last! Brighterdaysahead has to move aside, and suddenly **Golden Ace** is away and clear. It’s a shock victory for the 25-1 shot!

SELECTION: NOW IS THE HOUR.

Patrick Wadge on his first-ever Cheltenham winner. “His jumping hasn’t always been the best, don’t know what happened there but I just let him do his thing … it’s a dream come true!”

It’s a win for trainer Lucinda Russell and Scotland, and Wadge ended up on Myretown after Derek Fox opted to ride Whistle Stop Tour. “I wasn’t sure whether to run him,” Russell reveals.
