We are set for an explosive day of racing on the third day of the Punchestown Festival - with the Champion Stayers Hurdle as the feature race of the day.
The Punchestown Festival provides five golden days of quality action - featuring 40 races, including 12 Grade 1s - and attracts many of the biggest names from Ireland and Britain.
The only pity is that there are no spectators there to witness them as the roof may have come off at the Kildare track.
Yesterday's racing saw the Paul Nicholls-trained Clan Des Obeaux gamely win the Punchestown Gold Cup, fending off previous winner Kemboy and dual Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo.
And in today's feature race of the day, Cheltenham Festival Stayers' Hurdle heroin Flooring Porter heads the market in the Champion Stayers Hurdle.
Can Porter floor them again?
Later on in the day, Willie Mullins' Energumene takes to the stage in the Ryanair Novice Chase after bypassing the Cheltenham Festival with injury.
Can Mullins' fine form continue at the festival?
Here are all the results, which will be updated live as they come in.
