Plus 2 and dry when driving in.

Three days of phenomenal racing so far and the last day is about to start.

Order was resumed yesterday with Willie Mullins posting four winners.

Ruby Walsh is a class above when it comes to riding Cheltenham and his ride on Yorkhill was a one of his best. This beast of a horse did not settle and if he so much as let go of his head he would have probably crashed to the ground.
