Racing... Only Bettor. Cheltenham Day 3. Watch Now!

Ryan McCue on the Thursday betting at Cheltenham 

It's been tough going for punters on the first two days of the Festival. 

So will Thursday be a kinder betting day? 

We met with Betfair trader Ryan McCue to get his view on the big betting headlines - the horses that might oblige for punters, the runners that we are fearing and more. 

Ryan ranked the chances of three of the big favourites on Thursday - the Superboosted Fact To File, Sixandahalf in the Ryanair and Stayers market leader Teahupoo. Two are backs and one is a lay, watch the video to find out which is which.  

Ryan also tells us which horse is the worst result for Betfair on Thursday at the Festival. 

And of course he gives us a nap for today's racing. 

Watch the video for all that and more!

It's Day 3 of Cheltenham and @kieran_oconnor2 is with @mccueryan12 to get the latest from the trading room floor...
