TUESDAY’s National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham was dominated by graduates of the Irish point-to-point scene with Derek O’Connor partnering the Jonjo O’Neill-trained Minella Rocco to victory over his one-time intended ride Native River and Measureofmydreams, the mount of Katie Walsh.

The winner was the second on the day sired by Glenview Stud’s Monsun stallion Shirocco, following the brilliant success of Annie Power in the Champion Hurdle.
