MIDNIGHT CHASE has won the Argento Chase (Registered as the (Grade 2) Cotswold Chase) today beating favourites Diamond Harry and Tidal Bay.
The horse was ridden fantastically by Dougie Costello and kept hold of the lead throughout the race.
The 11-2 horse produced a brilliant performance by jumping fluently and travelling well, even when Tidal Bay was hot on his hooves.
But Walsh was unable to catch up with Costello as he powered past the post.
Diamond Harry was disappointing given his odds and Captain Chris was pulled up early on in the race.
Midnight Chase is now priced at 25-1 for the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Definitely worth an each-way bet.

LONG RUN TO RACE WITHOUT EAR-PLUGS IN CHELTENHAM GOLD CUP
LONG RUN is to run without ear-plugs in the Cheltenham Gold Cup against champion chaser Kauto Star.
Nicky Henderson has announced that the defending Gold Cup champion needs to have one or two changes in the hope of beating rival Kauto Star in the 2012 Festival.
As Henderson's preparations for the race may have over-relaxed Long Run, removing the ear-plugs will settle him down.
Henderson has also confirmed that Long Run might race in the Betfair Denman Chase at Newbury next month as a prep-run before Cheltenham.
