The final day of the Cheltenham Festival is upon us. If it's anything like the first three days, it's certain to be filled with drama and excitement. We've got all the updates and reactions you need if you're looking for Cheltenham results from day 4.
Of course, if you're considering making a bet for Day 4 of the festival, you must consult with our World-Famous Tipster Table which collates all of the most popular tips from over 30 tipsters in Ireland and the UK, writing both in digital and in print.
The highlight of today's racing comes at 3:30pm for the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase. Bookmakers favourite Galopin Des Champs trained by Willie Mullins will be looking to fend off pressure from the likes of A Plus Tard from Henry de Bromhead's yard and Paul Nicholls' Bravemansgame.
A Plus Tard won this race last year and with Rachael Blackmore riding the horse once again, they will be more keen than ever to make it two Gold Cup wins on the bounce.
This post will be updated throughout the day with all the latest Cheltenham results.

15:30 Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase
- Galopin Des Champs 7/5

- Conflated 22/1

It was a dram filled Gold Cup race with Ahoy Senor leading for the majority of the race, before falling six hurdles from home.

Bravemansgame then took control of the race until the final hurdle when favourite Galopin Des Champs ran clear of the field and seal a Gold Cup victory for Willie Mullins.

Cheltenham results Day 3
There was plenty of drama during yesterday's racing with the Irish trainers sealing the Prestbury Cup after winning five of the seven races on Day 3. Thursday's racing started with an upset in Novices' Chase where Paul Nicholls' Stage Star was too strong for the rest of the field, including heavy favourite Mighty Potter.
Envoi Allen won the Ryanair Chase after favourite Shishkin's poor start gave Nico de Bonville too much to do in the final furlongs. Perhaps the biggest shock of Day 3 came from 33/1 longshot Sire Du Berlais who gave Gordon Elliott yet another Cheltenham victory in the Stayers' Hurdle.
20/1 Seddon, 16/1 You Wear It Well and 10/1 Angels Dawn also found victories in the final three races of the day in what was an entertaining day of racing at Cheltenham.
