Lord Windermere has been confirmed as winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase after a stewards enquiry.

The Giant Bolster took third, though Paul Nicholl's Silviniaco Conti failed to place.

Jockey Daryl Jacobs has been injured in a dramatic incident at the Cheltenham Fesitval.

Somerset trainer Paul Nicholl's horse appeared to be spooked by something as he was cantering to the start for the 2.40 race. The horse went through the rails and jockey Jacobs was thrown from the saddle and into a TV camera.

Initial reports suggest that Jacobs has injured his shoulder and leg. He is currently having medical treatment.

The Irish jockey has been taken to hospital for X-rays and will now be unable to ride another race, including his mount in the Gold Cup.
