Race Tip
TEAHUPOO (9) sets the standard after winning the G1 Stayers Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Top of the staying hurdler division and may prove difficult to beat. BUDDY ONE (2) was a good fourth behind the main selection at Cheltenham. Showed similar form when runner up in the G1 Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree subsequently and is firmly in the mix. MONKFISH (5) can be talented on his day. Not been the same horse in recent years although could improve on the back of a reappearance fourth at Aintree. Consider for a placing. HOME BY THE LEE (4) holds each way claims following a third in the G1 Stayers Hurdle.
