Galopin Des Champs was an agonizing finish at the fence as Flooring Porter and Allaho defended the Cheltenham titles in a dramatic third day.
Jockey Paul Townend fell to leader Galopin Des Champs at the end to gift Bob Olinger the win in the opening.
Townend and trainer Willie Mullins were celebrating later when Allaho claimed victory in the Ryanair Chase.
And the Gavin Cromwell-trained Flooring Porter, ridden by Mullins’ nephew Danny, won a second Stayers’ Hurdle.
