Punters had the better of the opening day in the Cotswolds but the bookies hit back with a string of upsets on the eve of St Patrick's Day. David Williams of Ladbrokes told Bettingpro: "The rule of thumb used to be that Irish winners tended to spell big trouble for the bookies but that myth has been smashed to bits. "Chicago Grey in the opener was lousy but after that we had a blinding day. All the hotpots went down and we've reached the half-time whistle on the front foot." But the bookies are now braced for a St Patrick's Day backlash as confidence continues to grow in what is fast becoming the Cheltenham Irish Festival. "We've a long way to go before we can declare it a bookie's Festival. We fully expect the fancied Irish horses to be backed off the boards on St Patrick's Day" added Williams. The feature race of the third day is the Ladbrokes World Hurdle which sees defending champion Big Buck's lock horns with Grands Crus from the David Pipe yard.
