The favourite Jagwar has settled into the middle of the pack with plenty of space on either side.

Personal Ambition leads the way as they make the turn away from the crowd.

The tape is across and off we go from a standing start.

All 20 horses negotiate the first safely.

The flag is being waved and it's yet another false start today. Can almost hear the groans from the punters.

All 20 runners are nicely bunched and we should be away very, very soon.

The horses are trotting about slowly as they make their way to the start.

Let's have a clean start, please.

Last year’s winner Shakem Up’arry, owned by former Tottenham Hotspur, Portsmouth and West Ham manager Harry Redknapp, will be bidding for a repeat but faces a host of challengers

Jagwar is a course and distance winner for the training team of Josh Guerriero and Oliver Greenall, both former riders.

The six-year-old, who will be partnered by Jonjo O’Neill junior, has shown plenty of improvement this year and has been tipped as a horse for one of the Festival showpieces in the future.

Ginny’s Destiny for Paul Nicholls and Harry Cobden has not had the best of seasons so far but likes it here, having finished second in the Turner Novices’ Chase last season and watch out for Gemirande – trainer Venetia Williams has won this race three times in the past.

Right then, almost time for another race and it's the penultimate race of the day.

Jagwar will go off favourite at 11-4 while Thecompanysergeant is close behind at 9-2.

Harry Redknapp's Shakem Up'arry is looking to retain his crown.

Owner of Bob Olinger, Brian Acheson, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra: "I'm actually quite emotional because Bob always makes me cry because that horse was almost dead and we fixed him and we got him back. He is known as the third child. I didn't think he'd stay, Teahupoo was cruising.

"We said we'd wait for Rachael. She just gets a tune out of him like no one else."

That win for Rachael Blackmore on Bob Olinger in the Stayers Hurdle means she now has the clean sweep of Cheltenham feature races.

She won the Champion Hurdle in 2021 and 22 on Honeysuckle, the 2022 Gold Cup on A Plus Tard and the Champion Chase last year on Captain Guinness as well as the Ryanair Chase on Allaho (2021) and Envoi Allen (2023).

You can also throw in the 2021 Grand National which she won on Minella Times.

It's absolutely pouring down at Cheltenham now just in time for the last two races of the day.

Winning jockey Rachael Blackmore tells ITV Racing: "I'm very lucky to be on this horse. He is brilliant. He has so much speed and could use it. They went a good gallop but he could still pick up when it was needed.

"He is unbeaten around here. I know one day was fortuitous but he has luck on his side and is a very very good horse."

Bob Olinger's trainer Henry de Bromhead, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra: "Super ride from Rachael, amazing work from all of the team from home to get him back like that. To win with him, my assistant would take a bullet for him, he adores him. He was delighted with him coming over.

"He's just a class horse. You have to look at his record - he was unbeaten. I looked at the betting and I couldn't believe it. Brilliant, amazing, delighted.

"I suppose the last few years we've always had Honey to get us off on a Tuesday. We're all delighted."

ITV Racing have reported that Crambo and Home By The Lee, the two fallers in the previous race, are both up and ok.

A superb race, and another win for Rachael Blackmore.

Bob Olinger, one of the oldest horses at the Festival aged 10, showed all its experience as Blackmore held him at the back for most of that race.

Then over the final two hurdles, Blackmore pushed him on with excellent timing and Bob Olinger had enough in the tank to hold off reigning champion Teahupoo in a classic finish.

Teahupoo and Bob Olinger, in the near identical silks, are neck and neck over the last!

Teahupoo, if you're a favourite backer, he's had a real smooth passage.

Bob Olinger still goes OK.

Up to the last, and Bob Olinger has moved up to the front!

Lucky Place is struggling.
