Ireland got a winner on the board on St Patrick's Day at Cheltenham as Another Rum produced a 40-1 shock in the National Hunt Chase for amateur riders on Thursday.

Mark O'Hare gave the seven-year-old a peach of a ride and the pair were cruising in behind long-time leader Go White Lightning at the top of the hill.

They jumped the second-last in front and from then on the result was never in question, despite a slightly exuberant leap at the final fence.

Seven lengths was the margin of victory from 150-1 chance and fellow Irish raider Caislean Ui Cuain, with Control Man a further half-length away in third.

"He travelled great. I just hung on to him and when I let him go it was all over.

"When I crossed the line everything was a bit fuzzy. It takes a minute to sink in but it's a great feeling."
