Ga Law swooped fast and late to snatch the spoils in a pulsating Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham.
Only fourth with two fences to jump, the well-backed 5-1 shot stormed up the hill under Jonathan Burke to nab French Dynamite. The runner-up held a useful advantage at the final fence, but appeared to lose concentration as the pack gave chase.
Yet it took almost all of the run-in for the Jamie Snowden-trained Ga Law to master his brave rival by three quarters of a length.
