Day Three at Cheltenham is St Patrick's Thursday with two big races held on this day including the Ryanair Steeple Chase
St Patrick's Thursday is the third day of the Cheltenham Festival with two massive Championship races held on this day which celebrates the Irish patron saint.
The Ryanair Steeple Chase is the first of the two big races on Day 3 at the Festival and bookies are offering odds over which horse will come out on top in this race.
El Fabiolo is the current favourite with bookmakers to win the 2:50pm Ryanair Steeple Chase with the latest betting odds putting the Willie Mullins horse at the top of the market.
This one also has an entry in the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase though on Day Two of Cheltenham and it's likely that he'll run in that race instead.
Paddy Power's latest odds for the Ryanair sees Banbridge and Envoi Allen as second and third favourites at 11/4 and 7/2 respectively.
| Ryanair Steeple Chase Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| El Fabiolo | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Banbridge | 11/4 | 26.7% |
| Envoi Allen | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Stage Star | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Fastorslow | 9/2 | 18.2% |
