No horse had banked the jumps jackpot of just over £51,000 two years on the trot since High Point in 1953.

Yet Go Dante (6-1) - racing off a 2Ib lower mark than last year - and his unstoppable team proved records are there to be broken by pulling off a long-term plan in the Esher sunshine.

The Barbara Hester-owned nine-year-old (right) - who was well backed ante-post at double-figure odds - needed all of the run-in to prevail, getting his neck in front just yards from the line.
