  1. Post update

    Right that's all from us but we will be back again tomorrow for Festival Friday which is, of course, Gold Cup day. See you then!

  2. What happened on day three?

    The 50-1 shot Lisnagar Oscar caused the biggest shock of this year's Cheltenham Festival with victory in the Stayers' Hurdle on day three.

    Ridden by Adam Wedge, who claimed his first Festival winner, Lisnagar Oscar finished two lengths clear of Ronald Pump (20-1), with Bacardys (33-1) third.

    Paisley Park, the 4-6 favourite and last year's winner who has been in superb form this season, was never in contention after falling off the pace with three hurdles to go.

    Apple's Jade had set a decent gallop and opened up a big led until she came back to the field after the third-last flight. The runners bunched up, with several horses in with a chance two out, but Lisnagar Oscar took the lead in the run-in to the last to claim victory for Rebecca Curtis.

  3. 'The further he was going the better he was getting'

    Winning jockey Robert James, speaking to Racing TV: "Unbelievable. The horse was unbelievable, took me everywhere and jumped everywhere.

    "After the last he just took off. He had loads left. Unreal. The further he was going the better he was getting."

    However it has been confirmed that racing in Ireland will take place behind closed doors until 29 March at least.

  14. No doubt over day four

    The clock is counting down to the final race of the day.

    There were some concerns that the final day of Cheltenham could be in doubt if the government stepped up its attempt to delay the spread of the coronavirus but it has just been announced that there will no ban on large public gatherings or sporting fixtures just yet, so it is business as usual for tomorrow.

  15. Top trainers

    Gordon Elliott has the most winners so far at Cheltenham with five. Nicky Henderson is just behind with four and then Willie Mullins on three.

  17. Post update

    Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup (17:30 GMT)

    Final race of the day and again a chance for amateur riders to take centre stage.

    Interestingly, Patrick Mullins is not riding one of his father Willie's horses and has opted instead for Fitzhenry who has been second in a couple of races in Ireland this year when ridden by Barry Geraghty.

    Militarian could go well along with Champagne Platinum, ridden by the experienced Derek O'Connor, who has four Festival wins to his name over the years including on Any Second Now in last year's race.

  18. Post update

    David Casey, assistant trainer to winner Willie Mullins, tells 5 Live Sports Extra: "She had been working very well and was only touched off last year. She really came into herself this year and it was good for Daryl. He thought it was his best remaining ride of the week.

    "The owners have a lot of horses and it was great for them."
