Jockey Harry Cobden steered 2-1 favourite Meetmebythesea to victory in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham on Saturday, handing owner JP McManus his first win in the race. The six-year-old was neck and neck with Dan Skelton's Blueking D'Oroux at the final fence before pulling clear by two and a half lengths. Delighted trainer Ben Pauling later praised the horse's jumping and his guts.
