Cheltenham Day 3 Live: St Patrick's Day at the Festival
It's Day 3 at the Cheltenham Festival, with today's feature race being the Stayers Hurdle at 3:30 pm.
Well, that’s it for today folks. Another fantastic day of racing at Cheltenham. Flooring Porter and Allaho were our performances of the day!
Go easy on the Guinness and we’ll be back in the morning ready for Gold Cup day!
@Raceolly take a bow son - 33/1 winner to finish the day!
CHAMBARDDDD!

A winning 40/1 SP tip for @Raceolly in the final race of the day!
That's how it's done!!! π€©πͺ#CheltenhamFestival #CheltenhamTips https://t.co/3rZoxoLkCz
CHAMBARD wins the Kim Muir
1st - Chambard - 40/1
2nd - Mister Coffy - 5/1
3rd - Didero Vallis - 150/1
The final race on Day 3 is the Kim Muir Handicap Chase which is for amateur riders. Mister Coffy is the current favourite at 5/1
Flip flopping favourites have been the theme of the day and it's much the same in the final race, the Kim Muir!

A fantastic day for our man @Raceolly who lands another place at 17/2 as Grangee finishes third in the Mares' Novices' Hurdle. A very profitable day, well played sir!
Grangee also places at 17/2 to go with the earlier 33/1 and 50/1 places and the 12/1 Ante Post. Great day with one still to come ππ· https://t.co/HGUwzKqpV6

Next up it's the Mares' Novices' Hurdle. Willie Mullins has won five of the six runnings of the race and he has the favourite this time around with Dinoblue at 11/8
Is it going to be another Mullins procession in the upcoming Mares Novices' Hurdle? The bookmakers certainly seem to think so!

8/13 for Allaho to make it back-to-back wins in the Ryanair. Are you a backer or a layer at that price?
It was arguably the performance of the #CheltenhamFestival last season when Allaho blitzed the Ryanair field.

Just listen to the noise from the stands as Galopin Des Champs stretches clear before falling at the last. Heartbreaking.

Flooring Porter was the winner of the Stayers' Hurdle 12 months ago. The Gavin Cromwell trained 7-year-old is currently trading at 9/2 to make it back-to-back wins in the race, and would be the first horse to do so since Big Buck's should he come home first past the post.
Flooring Porter provided jockey Danny Mullins with a maiden #CheltenhamFestival winner in the feature race of Day Three last year.
