Sizing John, ridden by Robbie Power and trained by Jessica Harrington, powered home to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Victory completed a big-race double for the 7-1 chance, who won the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown in February.
He finished two and three quarter lengths ahead of Minella Rocco (18-1) in the Cheltenham showpiece, with Native River (7-2) in third.
Lizzie Kelly, the first woman for 33 years to ride in the race, was unseated from Tea for Two at the second fence.
The 3-1 favourite Djakadam was fourth while the much-loved Cue Card again fell
