Willie Mullins has become the first Irish-based trainer since Vincent O'Brien 70 years ago to be crowned champion over jumps in Britain.
While odds-on favourite El Fabiolo suffered defeat in the bet365 Celebration Chase at Sandown, the second prize of £36,329 was enough to seal victory over Dan Skelton, whose Nube Negra finished fifth to take home £4,556.
