Yahoo News Cheltenham Festival 2018 LIVE results: Horse racing action on Gold Cup Day plus weather forecast updates and predictions
Welcome to the London Evening Standard’s LIVE coverage of the 2018 Cheltenham Festival!
It's Gold Cup day on the final outing of this year's festival, and while 2017’s winner Sizing John misses out on the chance to retain his title, but there’s plenty more on offer.
Today, we have a further seven races on offer, including the Gold Cup at 3.30pm.
Penhill was victorious in Thursday's Stayers Hurdle after Buveur D'Air won the Champion Hurdle in the main event on Day One, before hot-favourite Altior was victorious in the Queen Mother Champion Chase on Wednesday.
Stay tuned to Standard Sport this week for all the talk, action and betting tips from this year’s Cheltenham Festival.
