Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore combined for their second win of the week.

50/1 shot Minella Indo ran out a surprise but deserving winner in the Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle, finishing ahead of Commander of Fleet and Allaho.

It was Rachel Blackmore first Grade 1 at the Cheltenham Festival, she became only the third woman to ride a double at the festival after Gee Armytage in 1987 and Nina Carberry in 2016.
