There is an open look to the feature Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle crown (3.30) on day three at the Cheltenham Festival, with five British runners and five raiders, among them the reigning champion Flooring Porter.
There is every chance of a repeat victory in this staying spectacular, as Paisley Park (2019) and Lisnagar Oscar (2020) are also back. Paisley Park’s improbable success over Champ in the Cleeve was nothing short of incredible in its execution, though the chances are Champ will bounce back and reverse the form.
