Rachael Blackmore is aiming to kick-off day three of the Cheltenham Festival with a win in the opening race.
The Tipperary jockey partners Bob Olinger in the Turners Novices' Chase for Henry de Bromhead after winning the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle on the gelding 12 months ago.
There are only four horses in the race, but Galopin Des Champs could be very difficult to beat after bolting up in the Ladbrokes Novice Chase at the Dublin Racing Festival.
Here's what BetVictor ambassador Blackmore thinks of her three rides on St Patrick's Day:
Bob Olinger in Turners Novices’ Chase - 13:30 - 11/10
"My Thursday gets started with Bob Olinger in the Turners, whilst its only four us lining up its going to be a great race. Galopin Des Champs and Bob Olinger are both very exciting horses. We are very happy with Bob Olinger he schooled very well since his last run at Punchestown, and he has been working very well. He was a very good winner of the Ballymore here last year; he has plenty of class and I am really looking forward to the ride."
Cavalry Master in Paddy Power Plate - 16:10 - 25/1
"Cavalry Master runs in the handicap chase over two mile four, he ran up a fine winning streak last summer winning four in a row. He is one that would not have appreciated yesterday’s rain, that said he has been going well at home and gets the first time cheekpieces and tongue tie, hopefully he can go well here."
Heia in Mares’ Novice Hurdle - 16:50 - 28/1
"Finally, I ride Heia for Willie Mullins in the Mares Novice she won well at Fairyhouse the last day. She has been going well at home since and is a lovely ride to pick up. Willie has plenty in this race and has a great record in it. Hopefully, we can run a nice race and be involved at the finish."
