Annie Power romped to victory in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham on Tuesday.

The Irish-trained mare laid to rest the ghosts of last year when she unforgettably threw away certain victory at the meeting with a crashing fall at the final jump.

In the immediate aftermath of today's race an emotional Ruby Walsh compared the mare to the great Dawn Run who won this race in 1984. Dawn Run was trained by the late Paddy Mullins, whose son Willie trains Annie Power.
