Day 3 brings us a lot of exciting action as the quality of the races increases and more of the bigger names in racing take to the course to battle against each other. St Patricks Day at Cheltenham is packed with Irish (and pretend irish!) people all intending to enjoy the “craic”, and a lot of drink and a lot of wagers take place.

The first race is the 13:30 Jewson Novices Chase, and there are a further five races during the afternoon culminating in the tongue twisting Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup Handicap Chase (!) which sets off at 16:40. The main feature race of the day is the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at 15:20.
