Cheltenham Day 3: If Alloho is at it, he looks bombproof in the Ryanair

In the Stayers' Hurdle,  several front runners are likely to go a good clip and this could play into the hands of Thyme Hill who is likely to be staying on at the finish

Tom O'Brien riding Thyme Hill clear the last to win The Ryanair Stayers Hurdle at Aintree last April.

Something has to win the Stayers Hurdle

The Stayers Hurdle at 3.30 is one of those races where there are valid reasons why none of the field can win. But something has to. Defending champion Flooring Porter is favourite to retain his crown at around 3/1 but his form since he emerged from nowhere to win last year reads 2FP and when last seen out behind Klassical Dream at Leopardstown at Christmas.
