How many Irish winners at Cheltenham today? Full list of horses trained in Ireland that won at the Festival

Ireland enjoyed yet another dominant day at the Cheltenham Festival as Irish trainers enjoyed six winners at Prestbury Park.

Rachael Blackmore's dream week continued as she rode Allaho and Telmesomethinggirl to victory in the Ryanair Chase and the Mares' Novices' Hurdle.

The Irish jockey has now had five winners at this year's festival.

Bryan Cooper tasted victory in the second contest on Mrs Milner at odds of 12/1 before Flooring Porter landed the Stayers' Hurdle under Danny Mullins for Meath trainer Gavin Cromwell.

Flooring Porter was a handicapper earlier in the season – but showed he was much better than that when winning the Grade One Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown.

He made all that day and the same tactics were deployed again to great effect.

No horse could get close enough to threaten the 12/1 winner, who powered up the hill to cross the line three and a quarter lengths ahead of Sire Du Berlais.

Paisley Park, winner in 2019, tried hard in defeat, a length and three-quarters away in third place. Beacon Edge was another half a length back in fourth.

And Jack Kennedy on board Mount Ida won the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup Handicap Chase in the final race of the day to complete six winners on another dominant day.
