Day 3 of the Cheltenham Festival is St Patrick's Day and features two 'Championship' races in the form of the Stayers' Hurdle and the Ryanair Chase.

Punters have a good record in the Stayers' Hurdle in recent years, with several favourites obliging - including Paisley Park in 2019.

Other races on the third day of Cheltenham include the Turners Novices' Chase, and two particularly competitive handicaps in the form of the Festival Plate and the Pertemps Final.

888sport's Sandro di Michele joins Jonny Gould live from Cheltenham and assesses the going - after yesterday's unrelenting rain played havoc with betting markets and the talk going round about the Festival being extended to five days.
