Cheltenham Festival Day Three - Thursday
Day 3 of the Festival and the two main races of the day are the Ladbrokes World Hurdle and the Ryanair Chase. The World Hurdle traditionally is a race that punters have a great chance of backing the winner as the favoruites have a top record. This is generally because there are so few quality long distance hurlders and the form is so transparent. It will be interesting to see if Inglis Drever tries to extend his great record in the race having won this race three times out of the last four years, but many think that he will be retired in the coming months.
On the third day of the Cheltenham Festival we have all the form guides and tips for these races on this site. You can also select from any number of Cheltenham Festival Free Bet offers from all the major bookmakers and you can avail of these free bets by clicking on any of the bookmakers links.
