Thyestes Chase 2022- All the Runners and Riders

The big race takes place tomorrow afternoon

Gowran Park will play host to another top class edition of the Goffs Thyestes Chase tomorrow afternoon.

With huge crowds flocking back to the track, the 3 mile event looks a cracking contest with the maximum 18 runners going to post.

The race is worth €100,000 in prize money and it has a storied tradition with a number of famous winners including Arkle, Flying Bolt, Hedgehunter and Numbersixvalverde.

First run in 1954 the race is usually contested by horses who go on to run in the Grand National and this year's contest sees 2021 winner Coko Beach aiming for back to back wins.

RTE will provide live coverage of all the action with the tapes going down for the big race at 3.05pm
