Cheltenham Festival day three

Preparations are underway in and around the stables for day three at Cheltenham, the Festival's inaugural Ladies Day

And the ladies are certainly out in force as racegoers arrive for the first race of the day, the Novices Handicap Chase

For the third day a big-priced horse takes the opener - 20-1 shot L'Antartique, ridden by Graham Lee wins by two lengths

Taranis, ridden by Ruby Walsh, holds off a late challenge from Our Vic and Billyvodden to win the Ryanair Chase by a neck

The big race is the World Hurdle and Inglis Drever fights off a strong challenge from Mighty Man and Blazing Bailey to win

Inglis Drever becomes only the fourth horse to win the race for a second time, following his success in 2005

Idole First bounds up the Cheltenham hill to comfortably win the Racing Post Plate for trainer Venetia Williams

Butler's Cabin is another outsider to triumph - the 33-1 shot holds off Character Building to take the Challenge Cup
