Stayers’ Hurdle Racecard
Paddy Power Stayers' Hurdle (Grade 1) (GBB Race)
With some many old favourites renewing rivalries, this year's edition of the stayers' crown presents a tricky puzzle for punters to solve. Last year's winner, Sire Du Berlais, has the heart of a lion and, as he proved 12 months ago, is dangerous to underestimate, while Flooring Porter won the two previous renewals and has all the right credentials to be on the premises once again. Teahupoo showed his versatility when landing the Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse over 2m4f on his most recent start and heads here with a big chance of bettering his third-placed finish last year. 2022 Grand National hero Noble Yeats also scores highly for his ability to adapt and, considering he had Paisley Park (second) and Dashel Drasher (fourth) behind when he won the Cleeve Hurdle over this course and distance in January, he is no back number here. However, it may pay to cast the net even wider and consider ASTERION FORLONGE, whose second to Irish Point at Leopardstown stands up to scrutiny as a rock-solid piece of form and his yard won this race in 2017 and 2018.
