RACING anorak Graeme Johnston (@GraemeJ_83) analyses the field for the highlight of Day 3 from the Cheltenham Festival, the Stayers Hurdle.

The Stayers Hurdle is synonymous with horses who rack up multiple wins in the race and Paisley Park looks to add his name to that roll of honour that includes Big Bucks, Inglis Drever and Baracouda in recent memory. I believe he wins but I’m backing one each-way against him.
Penhill (16/1 Bet365) is also a previous winner of the race and has won twice at the meeting before so ticks a massive box in course form. He wasn’t quite right last season and missed the meeting but he’s been aimed here all season.
He stays well and his last start where second in the Boyne Hurdle should have put him spot on. He could be the one in betting without the favourite or as an each-way alternative in the main market.
