Good morning and welcome to Express Sport’s live blog for day three of the Cheltenham Festival. It has already been an exciting and chaotic few days at the races
Today, there will be seven races on St Patrick’s Thursday, including the Pertemps Network final at 4.40pm and the Rosconn Group Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup Handicap Steeple Chase at 5.20pm.
On Wednesday, iconic trainer Willie Mullins watched Il Etait Temps overcome the favourite Majborough to win the Queen Mother Champion Chase. It was another huge victory for the Irishman, who also won with Lossiemouth in the Champion Hurdle on Tuesday.
Mullins will be paying close attention to the 1.20pm Ryanair Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle where his runner Fact to File is the pre-race favourite. There will be many more to come in Gloucestershire.
