Envoi Allen produced a huge upset in triumphing in the Ryanair Chase in the third day of the Cheltenham Festival's third day.
Pre-race favourite Shishkin stumbled in the final few hurdles to leave it all to do coming into the finish, and was unable to live up to early billing.
Nico de Boinville somehow managed to stay in the saddle, but despite managing to somehow recover to a second-place finish, Rachael Blackmore guided Envoi Allen (13-2) to a surprise victory.
The horse coming in at evens had looked frenetic throughout the early stages of the race, while Envoi Allen's run was timed well, remaining near the front of the pack in good position
