Janika galloped home the 2019 Coral Haldon Gold Cup hero, and was shortened to 12-1 for the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
The Nicky Henderson-trained six-year-old made light work of his rivals taking up the lead three fences from home and staying on to beat the Paul Nicholls-trained Dolos by two and a quarter lengths.
It was the first time Henderson has won the race since the golden age of Travado, who landed a hat-trick in the race in the early 1990s.
