The Ryanair Chase and Stayers' Hurdle are among the races taking place on Thursday as the Irish look to continue their domination at the Cheltenham Festival.
Ireland lead the UK 10-4 in the battle for the Prestbury Cup and trainers from the Emerald Isle look certain for another good afternoon at Prestbury Park today.
Davy Russell has more wins at this famous meeting than any other jockey that is currently still riding, but he hasn't got off the mark yet this week.
