From watching the action on a big screen near the statue of champion AP McCoy to the favorite who is pulling clear and wins the Champion Chase and remains unbeaten over fences, all these photos will impress you.

Tuesday

Watching the action on a big screen near the statue of champion AP McCoy.

Studying form before racing.

Watching the horses emerge on to the track rails for the first race, the Supreme Novices Hurdle.

Coo Star Sivola ridden by Lizzie Kelly stays on to beat Shantou Flyer to win the Ultima Handicap Chase. Kelly said: ‘After last year, I’d made my peace with never being a Cheltenham Festival winner’.

With half a furlong to go, Barry Geraghty rallies Buveur D’Air brilliantly up the final hill, catching Melon to retain the Champion Hurdle. Geraghty said following his win: ‘There was nowhere to hide. The ground made it the ultimate test. The best horse was going to win and, thankfully, I was on the best horse’.

Runners take a fence during the National Hunt Chase. A race for amateur jockeys and the longest race of the week at four miles. Patrick Mullins wins on 9-2 Rathvinden and the third win of the day for Willie Mullins.

Wednesday

On a very windy Ladies Day, slight adjustments are needed.

Punters watch Jack Kennedy riding Samcro win the Ballymore Novices Hurdle.

Kennedy steers Samcro to win the Ballymore Novices Hurdle and remains unbeaten over hurdles (4-4) for trainer Gordon Elliott.

The leaders in the 27 runner Coral Cup jump the final hurdle. Mark Walsh takes the honours, leading Bleu Berry home, a 20-1 shot.

The anticipation.

Altior finds his stride over the final fence. It’ll be Altior against Min down the home straight … and the favourite is pulling clear and wins the Champion Chase and remains unbeaten over fences. Nico De Boinville: ‘I was in serious trouble the whole way round. This isn’t his ground at all, but his jumping is great, he’s some horse. We had an Irish banker, how about an English banker? What a superstar he is, I’m lucky to ride him’.
