The third day of Cheltenham commences with the Jewson Novices’ Handicap with smart chasers Rivaliste for champion trainer Paul Nicholls and The Hollinwell for Ferdy Murphy amongst the fancied runners. Who have you marked off?

The Pertemps Final Handicap Hurdle is up next and Alfie Sherrin will be a popular selection for many after proving his class at Newbury last time. Although this is a considerable step up in class there should be a lot more to come from this lightly raced seven year old! Can Alfie Sherrin put another winner on the board for everyone’s favourite  Jockey/Trainer combo Paul Nicholls and Ruby Walsh?

The Ryanair Chase is the third race on day three and Tranquil Sea, Poquelin and Barbers Shop are all at the head of the market. Tranquil Sea finished four lengths clear of Poquelin in The Paddy Power Gold Cup; can he confirm the form in this classic chase?

Big Bucks to be made in the World Hurdle!

The World Hurdle follows the Ryanair and long time ante-post favourite Big Bucks should take all the beating and will prove popular to follow up on last year’s success in this gritty affair.  Main market rivals Tidal Bay and Karabak will not  go down without a fight; will another hot favourite be caught out on the Cheltenham hill?

Up next it’s the Byrne Group Plate and this looks a really tricky puzzle to solve. Have you found the winner? Get the advantage with betinternet.com: we are paying out on 5 PLACES in the Byrne Group Plate!

The day concludes with the Kim Muir Challenge Cup for amateur riders, and gives some of the less known competitors a chance to shine over this testing 3m.  Have you spotted a future champion jockey in the making?
