All eyes are on Teahupoo to see if he can defend his Stayers’ Hurdle crown.
He ran out an impressive winner in this 12 months ago and nothing has really emerged this season to give him too much to worry about. He suffered defeat on his sole start this season at Fairyhouse but that came at the hands of Lossiemouth and freshened up again since it looks all systems go again.

Gordon Elliott is going for a hat-trick in the race and TEAHUPOO is arguably unlucky not to be himself too. After beating Klassical Dream at Fairyhouse he relished the step up in trip to win the Galmoy Hurdle and then was chinned just a nose by stablemate Sire Du Berlais.
I remember Davy Russell blaming himself for that defeat and 12 months later the horse had his day in the sun winning impressively under Jack Kennedy. He backed that up winning by a wide margin at Punchestown and while we have only seen him once this season I wouldn’t see that as a negative.
His trainer Gordon Elliott has always said he is a horse that needs to be kept fresh and with dangers thin on the ground I expect him to be hard to beat again.
Each way angle?
It really wouldn’t surprise me to see Gordon Elliott have another 1-2 in the race as THE WALLPARK screams each way value at 12/1. He actually has a very similar profile to his stablemate and looked all about stamina making it 4 wins in a row beating Gowel Road at Cheltenham which obviously looks decent form now with that horse having won the Cleve Hurdle since.
He could only finish fourth behind Crambo in the Long Walk Hurdle but ran an eye-catching race getting outpaced before finishing strongly. He is obviously completely unexposed over this trip and freshened up with this race the target I think he’ll give his stablemate the most to think about.
