FITTING FINISH: Jockey Eoin Staples with trainer Gavin Cromwell celebrate after winning with Now Is The Hour alongside groom Becky Rafter

The Goffs Thyestes Handicap Chase produced a finish befitting the race’s illustrious history as Now Is The Hour nailed Better Times Ahead on the line to complete a 116-1 treble on the card for Gold Cup-winning trainer Gavin Cromwell, who had not saddled a winner with his previous 40 runners.

Captain Cody, heavily supported into 7-2 favouritism, was an early casualty but on the run to last Willie Mullins still looked on course to win the race for a record-extending 11th-time courtesy of Spanish Harlem but he unseated Seán Cleary-Farrell to leave the way seemingly clear for Better Times Ahead to land the prize.
