CHELTENHAM Festival hero Stay Away Fay hit a monster 179-1 in-running before leaving punters breathless with an amazing finish.<\/p>\n

Bookies slashed Paul Nicholls' star novice chaser after he came back from the dead at Exeter.<\/p>\n

Harry Cobden looked to be putting in a near-perfect round of jumping on last year's Albert Bartlett winner.<\/p>\n

But suddenly the six-year-old appeared out of puff as Dan Skelton on Grey Dawning and Joe Tizzard on The Changing Man cruised past.<\/p>\n

It was then, with Cobden bouncing in the saddle and seemingly beat, that Stay Away Fay hit a huge price on the Betfair Exchange.<\/p>\n

The 180 was matched as was 130.<\/p>\n

But then the supreme stayer found a second wind to surge home over the 3m trip and win comfortably at 5-6 from 13-2 The Changing Man.<\/p>\n

Bookies were quick to slash Stay Away Fay for the 3m6f National Hunt Chase at the Festival going from 14s to 8s.<\/p>\n

While he remained a 10-1 chance with Betfair for the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase.<\/p>\n

Although expect that price to go with Nicholls confirming the horse 'too classy' for the NH Chase.<\/p>\n

He told Racing TV: "The future's bright for him over fences, it's exciting.<\/p>\n

"He stays on strongly and did it at Cheltenham too, he gallops on strongly and that's what you want.<\/p>\n

"We've given him lots of time to mature and all the time he's is paying off.<\/p>\n

"There's a new novice chase on Sandown Tingle Creek meeting worth \u00a360,000 so he'll go there.<\/p>\n

"Then he'll go to Kempton and have a break – if he runs in all three including here that could be it before Cheltenham.<\/p>\n

"That was a good performance today and there's lots more to come from him as he grows up, he's an exciting horse."<\/p>\n
