Everyone over the final hurdle before the bend as they go back onto the circuit.
Halfway there and we're bubbling along nicely. A good pace here.

Gaoth Chuil's trainer Ted Walsh on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra: "She has a chance if she reproduces her run at Leopardstown.
"She stays well but with a bit of luck on your side, who knows? She should handle the ground. We won't use that as an excuse."

Dan Skelton, who had a double on day two, has spoken highly about Le Milos but his hurdle runs this season have been disappointing.
Gaoth Chuil – Irish for tail wind - is a big contender for Ted Walsh and has had a win and three runners-up places in her runs in Ireland this season.
And those of a certain age will have a fondness for Cuthbert Dibble from the Twiston-Davies yard – trained by Nigel and ridden by his son Sam.
