In horse racing the feature contest on day three at Cheltenham is the Stayers Hurdle at half past three where the odds on favourite Paisley Park bids for outright success for owner Andrew Gemmell who is blind since birth.

Elsewhere on the seven race card Royal Thief represents Henry De Bromhead and promising young jockey Hugh Morgan in the Pertemps Hurdle while the local trainer is no doubt expecting a big performance from A Plus Tard in a competitive Ryanair Chase.

Other runners for Henry during the afternoon include Minella Melody who joins Colreevy owned by the Flynn family from Dungarvan in the Dawn Run Novices Hurdle while in the concluding contest Plan Of Attack represents the Butlerstown trainer.
