One of the stars of last season PAISLEY PARK never stopped improving lighting up the Cheltenham Festival with his performance in the Stayers’ Hurdle his path to glory having really started in this race last year although he won’t be an 8-1 chance this time. Take him out of the race and barring mishaps the race for the runner-up slot is competitive with the talented L’Ami Serge making his return to action after injury although this will be quite a test in the conditions after such a long break. The Worlds End was third behind the selection last time and looks unlikely to reverse that form and it may well be the tough mare Papagana who is the biggest danger in receipt of weight from all.
