3m (2m7f213y) (New) Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle (Grade 1) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+)
With good, verging on fast, ground for the Mares’ Hurdle on Tuesday and heavy going on the Thursday, connections of ROYAL KAHALA must be very smug about their decision to go for the Stayers’ Hurdle. She’s a big unit who will love the mud and she receives 7lb from the geldings. Her form is excellent having beaten Klassical Dream last time out and two Cheltenham Festival winners at Christmas, and she has a huge chance in the conditions. As a son of Yeats, Flooring Porter backers will be nervous about the going, while Klassical Dream, Champ and Thyme Hill all have to bounce back from
relative disappointments last time out.
1pt win Royal Kahala @6/1, 15:30 Cheltenham, Thursday
