Golden Ace was a shock 25-1 winner of the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham after previous victors Constitution Hill and State Man fell.
The 2023 champion Constitution Hill was sent off odds-on favourite but came down early in the big race.
Last year’s winner State Man looked set to claim victory before a dramatic fall at the last hurdle.
That left Golden Ace, ridden by Lorcan Williams for trainer Jeremy Scott, to come through and win by nine lengths from 66-1 outsider Burdett Road.
Both Constitution Hill and State Man appeared galloped away unscathed from their falls.
