Who To Follow On Day Three Of The 2022 Cheltenham Festival

Gordon Elliott is a man with some huge chances across the day on Thursday with some of his biggest shouts coming in the handicap events.

In the Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle he fields six runners with his leading chances looking like Dunboyne, Sire De Berlais and Tullybeg.

He is looking to beat Allaho in the Ryanair Chase with Irish Gold Cup winner Conflated who heads into the event in the form of his life.

In the Plate Handicap Chase, Elliott fields Grand Paradis and Fancy Foundations who are definitely not without a chance if improving.

Party Central is his big chance in the Mares Novices' Hurdle and then in the last event of the day he is looking to pull off a handicap plot job with Frontal Assault.

Paul Townend has a handful of smart rides on the third day of the Cheltenham festival starting with Galopin Des Champs in the Turners' Novices' Chase.

In the Pertemps Final he rides the current favourite of Winter Fog, who off a mark of 138 has a big chance to go close, with the Emmet Mullins team learning a lot from his latest run.

His banker of the day is Allaho with the short priced favourite being once of the best Irish bets across the Cheltenham festival as a whole.

In the Stayers' Hurdle he will be hoping that Klassical Dream can bounce back to form and then in the Mares' Novices' Hurdle he sits on the second favourite Brandy Love.
