Riverside Theatre snatches Ryanair Chase

Riverside Theatre makes a final push to snatch the Ryaniar Chase at Cheltenham, with Alberta's Run and Merdermit coming in behind.

Riverside Theatre made a late surge to win the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival on day three.

The winner, under Barry Geraghty for Nicky Henderson, took the top spot after a dominant run on the outside of the final 50 yards, while AP McCoy's Alberta's Run took second place with Merdermit in third.

Alberta's Run took the lead, stretching ahead from the likes of Great Endeavour, Little Josh and Rubi Light.

Riverside Theatre first came into contention while approaching the top of the hill before the third last and managed to keep the momentum to take first place.
