Russell retains title

Russell has yet to pass the 126 he achieved when runner-up in the 2007-08 campaign behind Ruby Walsh, but his total of 103 was enough to claim the crown, although it was one less than last year’s winning tally.

Russell, 33, had finished second five times before finally fulfilling his ambition in 2011-12 and he showed he was no one-title wonder when coming out on top again.
