CHELTENHAM, England, March 13 (Reuters) - Gaelic Warrior ⁠powered up the hill to take a commanding eight-length victory in the Cheltenham Gold Cup for record-breaking jockey Paul Townend and ⁠superstar trainer Willie Mullins.

After tracking the leaders an ice-cool Townend hit the front with two fences to go, cruising past ‌Harry Redknapp's The Jukebox Man off the home turn and from then on Gaelic Warrior's success was never in doubt as he pulled away towards the line.
