Legendary jockey AP McCoy partnered Noble Prince (4-1) to victory in the Jewson Novices' Chase for his first winner at the 2011 Cheltenham Festival, and his 200th of the season.
The champion jockey swept past Richard Johnson and Wishfull Thinking (7-2 favourite) at the final fence and powered clear for a mightily impressive four-length success.
High class second Wishfull Thinking put in a super round of jumping until a mistake at the last, with Henry de Bromhead's Loosen My Load (11-2) a further five lengths back in third.
