There was a major surprise in today's big race at Cheltenham as 15/2 shot More Of That came out on top in today's World Hurdle.

The six-year-old Jonjo O'Neill-trained Irish runner held off Willie Mullins' Annie Power to take victory.

The winner pulled away from the pre-race favourite over the finishing straight to win by a length and a half as veteran Big Bucks failed to challenge.

The defeat will be another bitter blow for AP McCoy, who turned down the chance to partner More Of That in favour of At Fishers Cross, which finished in third.

Big Buck, a four-time World Hurdle winner has been retired after his fifth place finish.

Earlier today the Ryanair Chase went to Dynaste, while O'Neill tasted victory again with Taquin Du Seuil in the afternoon's opening race.
