“ANY IRISH WINNER THAT IS ABLE TO CHARGE UP THAT CHELTENHAM HILL IS MET WITH AN AFFECTIONATE BOOM OF NOISE FROM THE CROWD”

boom of noise from the crowd than usual. Thursday’s card is unique in that is the only one across the four days which features two Championship races, the Ryanair Chase and the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle, which are held back-to- back – meaning that the only people busier than the bar staff in the Guinness Village are the jockeys themselves! Allaho produced one of the performances of the week when winning the Ryanair Chase by some 12 lengths in 2021 and last year was even more impressive as he came home 14 lengths clear to become only the contest’s second dual winner. It was also a case of more of the same in the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle last year with Flooring Porter repeating his 2021 success and receiving the reception only an Irish winner on St Patrick’s Thursday can. The supporting contests include the Grade One Turners Novices’ Chase and the Grade 2 Ryanair Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle which will pay tribute to Jack de Bromhead in 2023.
