Cheltenham Festival 2022 day 3 race cards and tips - list of Thursday's runners

The Stayers' Hurdle and Ryanair Chase are among the seven races taking place at the Cheltenham Festival on Thursday.

Willie Mullins landed a treble at the meeting on Wednesday as Sir Gerhard, Energumene and Facile Vega all won their respective races, while Gordon Elliott had a double with 50/1 shot Commander Of Fleet and Delta Work, who narrowly defeated Tiger Roll.

Punters will be backing both of those trainers to have more success on St Patrick's Day.

Here's Thursday's runners and riders, as well as a tip for each race:
