The third day of the Cheltenham Festival is being branded 'St Patrick's Thursday' - and it could be a hugely successful one for Irish-trained horses.

Irish trainers are currrently responsible for the first five favourites, which include the well-fancied trio of Sixandahalf in the Mares' Novices' Hurdle, Fact To File in the Ryanair Chase and Teahupoo in the Stayers' Hurdle.

Here's a full list of today's runners and riders, as well as a tip for each race:
