Given his astonishing Cheltenham record, it takes something special to blow Willie Mullins' mind but Ireland's champion trainer admitted he was "gobsmacked" after Allaho gave him his 76th Festival win with an awesome display in the Ryanair Chase.
The seven-year-old ran his rivals into the ground from the off, with Rachael Blackmore making her intentions clear from flag-fall in setting a strong pace and putting the rest of the field under pressure.
