Cheltenham Thursday Results

17:30 - Kim Muir Challenge Cup Result - Favourite obliges in the closer

Winner: Inothewayurthinkin

The Story: It's a good result for favourite backers as Inothewayurthinkin takes the closing race at 13/82.63. Once again, the Betfair Beacons showed the way on the Betfair Exchange - Gavin Cromwell's horse on fire in the betting. The places were fielled by Git Maker, Whacker Clan, Where It All Began and Daily Present.

16:50 - Ryanair Mares Novice Hurdle Result - Golden Ace surprises the favourites

Winner: Golden Ace

The Story: It's another win for the home side as Golden Ace shocks odds-on favourite Brighterdaysahead, a well-backed Betfair Exchange Beacon, to win the Ryanair Mares' Novice Hurdle for Jeremy Scott. Betfair Ambassador Rachael Blackmore filled the other place aboard Birdie Or Bust.

16:10 - Plate Handicap Result - Harry wins as Brits strike again

Winner: Shakem Uparry

The Story: Owner Harry Redknapp is celebrating as his 10-year-old chaser wins the Plate Handicap. It's the third win for former football manager/racehorse owner after Sir Alex Ferguson landed the spoils with Monmiral and Protektorat. Back of the net!


15:30 - Stayers Hurdle Result - Elliott returns to winners' enclosure!

Winner: Teahupoo

The Story: Ireland get their first win of the day as Teahupoo wins the Stayers for Gordon Elliott. Well backed before the off, Elliott's seven-year-old was a Betfair Beacon showing the flame emoji on the Betfair Exchange.

The places were filled by Flooring Porter and Kevin Blake's tip, Home By The Lee.


14:50 - Ryanair Chase Result - Skeltons strike again!

Winner: Protektorat

The Story: Team Skelton win their fourth race of the 2024 Cheltenham Festival as Protektorat holds off Envoi Allen, ridden by Betfair Ambassador Rachael Blackmore, in a great finish to the Ryanair Chase. Protektorat was backed at 36.035/1 while Envoi Allen touched 1.171/6 in-running.

The second place for Rachael means today's Betfair Sportsbook Superboost - Envoi Allen to finish in the top four at even money - landed again.

It is an antepost winning tip for Betfair tipster Daryl Carter. You can read his day three tips here. Tony Calvin had recommended the third place Conflated each-way.


14:10 - Pertemps Final Result - Nicholls with the win!

Winner: Monmiral

The Story: Ginny's Destiny potentially signalled an upswing in the Nicholls yard form with a second place in the opener and Monmiral duly obliged in the second for Betfair Ambassador Paul Nicholls. Congratulations, Paul!

Harry Cobden delivered a great ride, producing Monmiral late on to snag long time leader Kyntara in the run. Kyntara was backed at 1.434/9.

Betfair were paying six places on the Pertemps which were filled by Kyntara, Cuthbert Dibble, Bold Endeavour, Emiton and Gowel Road.


13:30 - Turners Novice Chase Result - Skeltons score third win

Winner: Grey Dawning

The Story: Three wins for team Skelton at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival as Grey Dawning, widely tipped up on Betting.Betfair.com including by Daryl Carter, takes the Turners. Early quotes put Dan Skelton's chaser at 8/19.00 for the 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup on the Betfair Sportsbook.

Is the Paul Nicholls yard returning to form? Ginnys Destiny was a Betfair Beacon pre-race, showing as ice on the Betfair Exchange with punters not keen on the Betfair Ambassador's runner. But in an exciting finish Ginny's Destiny chased Greay Dawning up the hill to finish a close second.

The other place was filled by Venetia William's Djelo.
