Captain Guinness was a shock winner of the Queen Mother Champion Chase under Rachael Blackmore after hot favourite El Fabiolo was pulled up.

El Fabiolo was odds-on to give trainer Willie Mullins a historic 100th Cheltenham Festival win but his chance went with a bad early blunder.

Blackmore seized the opportunity on 17-2 shot Captain Guinness, trained by Henry de Bromhead.

The winner prevailed from Gentleman De Mee to leave Mullins on 99 wins.
