Mayo News tips for Day Three of the Cheltenham Festival

Today marks the third day of the Cheltenham Festival. Yesterday, editor Michael Duffy tipped a winner in the last race where he posted The Mourne Rambler as his daily NAP. Under a fine ride from top flat jockey Colin Keane, the Noel Meade trained horse produced a fine performance winning well at odds of 15/2.

Today, Racing will get underway at 1.20 while at 3.20, the Grade One Stayers Hurdle takes place. Out of the ten runners, six of them are Irish trained including the Shark Hanlon trained Hewick. 40 minutes later, the feature race of the day, the Ryanair Chase gets underway with the JP Mc Manus owned Fact to File heavily fancied by many to prevail.
