Result:
1st: Bob Olinger (6/4 favourite)
2nd: Gaillard Du Mesnil (9/4)
3rd: Bravemansgame (4/1)
4th: Bear Ghylls (15/2)
Rachael Blackmore continued her excellent Cheltenham Festival guiding Bob Olinger to the first win of the day. He flew home over the last two hurdles as Gaillard Du Mesnil came home in second to complete an Irish one-two on St Patrick's Day.

Result:
1st: Monkfish (1/4 favourite)
2nd: Fiddlerontheroof (40/1)
3rd: The Big Breakaway (12/1)
It was far from perfect from the favourite Monkfish, but Willie Mullins' horse had enough despite some unconvincing jumping to come home in first, ahead of outsider Fiddlerontheroof and The Big Breakaway. Read the full race report here.
14:30 - Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle
Result:
1st: Heaven Help Us (33/1)
2nd: Craigneiche (17/2)
3rd: Tea Clipper (40/1)
4th: Sayo (28/1)
5th: Janika (28/1)
6th: Birchdale (12/1)
Another Irish winner and a surprise one at that! Richard Condon on board led the way and streaked clear as the rest of the pack couldn't keep up with him, while Craigneiche came home in second. A fantastic performance.
15:05 - Queen Mother Champion Chase
Result:
1st: Put The Kettle On (17/2)
2nd: Nube Negra (11/1)
3rd: Chacun Pour Soi (8/13 favourite)
Put The Kettle On put in a supreme performance battling her way up the hill with Chacun Pour Soi to take the Queen Mother Champion Chase, while Nube Negra finished strongly in second. Willie Mullins misses out on this one once again! Read the full race report here.
15:50 - Glenfarclas Chase
Result:
1st: Tiger Roll (9/2)
2nd: Easysland (Evens favourite)
3rd: Some Neck (17/2)
4th: Alpha Des Obeaux (22/1)
He has only gone and done it! The two-time Grand National winner has just put in an absolutely perfect performance, putting a huge amount of distance between himself and the rest of the field. There surely won't be a more popular winner all week.
16:15 - Grand Annual Challenge Cup Handicap Chase
Result:
1st: Sky Pirate (14/1)
2nd: Entoucas (7/1)
3rd: Ibleo (9/1)
4th: On The Slopes (16/1)
5th: Not That Fuisse (11/1)
What a brilliant finish that was! Sky Pirate timed his push to perfection but looked like he might run out of gas as Entoucas closed him down with every stride. The finishing post came just quickly enough for Sky Pirate who takes a huge win from Entoucas, with Ibleo finishing third.
16:50 - Champion Bumper
Result:
1st: Sir Gerhard (9/4)
2nd: Kilcruit (1/1 favourite)
3rd: Elle Est Belle (16/1)
4th: Three Stripe Life (10/1)
Rachael Blackmore has done it again. In a fairly slow and ordinary race it was he stewardship of second favourite Sir Gerhard that was the difference. She pulled out into a five length lead and although Kilcruit closed the gap with a late push it wasn't enough.
