HOME BY THE LEE can win the Paddy Power Stayers' Hurdle (GBB Race) (3.30pm) on the third day of the 2023 Cheltenham Festival.
Joseph O'Brien's eight-year-old can continue his rise up the staying ranks with victory in the Grade One feature on day three at Prestbury Park.
Home By The Lee finished sixth in last year's Stayers' Hurdle last year as fellow Irish raider – the Gavin Cromwell-trained Flooring Porter – landed back-to-back victories in fine style. That was his first run at Grade One level over hurdles following some promising efforts after connections decided to drop back to the smaller obstacles after a chasing career didn't pan out as hoped.
