We are set for an explosive day of racing on the third day of the Punchestown Festival - with the Champion 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 yet another Willie Mullins training masterclass after Klassical Dream cantered home in the Champion Stayers Hurdle after a staggering 487 days off.

And in today's feature race of the day, Cheltenham Champion Hurdle heroin Honeysuckle heads the market in the Punchestown Champion Hurdle.

Can the unbeaten mare do it again in Ireland?

Later on in the day, Henry de Bromhead's emphatic Ballymore winner in Bob Olinger takes to the stage in the Champion Novice Hurdle with Rachael Blackmore booked to ride again.
