The Pertemps Network Final follows hot on the heels with 23 qualifiers hoping to land the Grade 3 handicap hurdle. There’s just enough time to make a brew as some of the smartest chasers in the game tackle the Ryanair Chase at 2.30pm.

A double-hit of Paddy Power-sponsored action follows with the day’s feature race the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle at 3.05pm and the Paddy Power Plate right after.

The day is rounded off by the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle and the Kim Muir Chase.

Thursday’s action takes place on the New Course, after Tuesday and Wednesday’s races were run on the Old Course and Cross Country Course.
