Command performance from Brennan

PADDY BRENNAN gave Imperial Commander a magnificent drive to land the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham yesterday.

The fourth last fence, however, played a huge part in the final outcome. Voy Por Ustedes, one of the bankers of the meeting and heavily-backed on course, made a dreadful blunder at the obstacle, losing many lengths.

Brennan had made his move at the top of the hill, beginning the long, lonely surge for glory.
