Cheltenham Festival 2022 LIVE: Results, odds, and latest updates as Flooring Porter retains title and Galopin Des Champs falls

LIVE – Updated at 17:49

Follow live updates from day three of the Cheltenham Festival, as Flooring Porter secured back-to-back victories in the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle, while Rachael Blackmore claimed another win on Bob Olinger after a dramatic fall from Galopin Des Champs at the last hurdle.

After the heavy rain of day two, the going is set to be soft again but the sun has come out to improve conditions at the Greatest Show on Turf. The day’s action is headlined by the Stayers’ Hurdle and Turners Novices’ Chase, as excitement builds ahead of Friday’s Gold Cup.

In a competitive race, Flooring Porter led from start to finish to add his name to an illustrious list who have won the Stayers’ Hurdle on more than one occasion - following his dominant performance 12 months ago.

Fans have flocked back to Cheltenham after the festival was held behind closed doors last season, and have been treated to two exciting days of action so far. Follow for live updates, as well as tips, odds, and results from the Cheltenham Festival.

1st: Chambard 40/1

Mint Condition and Chambard well placed too. Ain’t That A Shame also pushing hard to move up.

It’s over surely for Omar Maretti, who is well back. Didero Vallis still leads with Chambard next.

Mister Coffey and Smoking Gun move well into the third last.

Mister Coffey untidy, Didero Vallis rallying, but Chambard pushes on and takes it!
