GAVIN Cromwell paid tribute to Final Orders after the diminutive Cheltenham Festival winner provided him with back-to-back victories in the Velka Pardubicka last Sunday.

The Co Meath handler saddled Stumptown to claim the famous prize in Czechia 12 months ago and headed back across Europe with a horse who won twice around Cheltenham’s cross-country course last season, including at the showpiece meeting in March.
