Gordon Elliott notched back-to-back victories in the Paddy Power Stayers' Hurdle as Teahupoo stormed up the Cheltenham hill for Festival glory.
The seven-year-old could only finish third behind veteran stablemate Sire Du Berlais when sent off the 9-4 favourite 12 months ago, but made no mistake on his return to Prestbury Park in the hands of Jack Kennedy - who along with the Cullentra House handler was getting off the mark for the week.
