Cheltenham Festival 2026 Day 3 Preview
We've got joint headline races on day three, and in terms of make up, they couldn't be any more different from each other.
The Stayers Hurdle comes first (3:20pm) and it looks wide open this year, plenty will come into the race fancying their chance, and you'll surely see plenty of horse racing tips across a number of runners in the race.
Next up, the Ryanair Chase (4:00pm) and this is all about one horse, Fact To File. For many, the banker of the week, the big hope from Ireland and a horse that put in a dominant performance 12 months ago to land this race.
Earlier on the card, two races for mares with the Mares Novices' Hurdle and the Mares Hurdle, both of which have strong favourites from Ireland, Bambino Fever in the novice race, and Wodhooh in the mares.
Elsewhere, the handicaps are tough. The Jack Richards, Pertemps and Kim Muir round off the card, and all look to be typically tough puzzles for punters to solve.
