Verdict

PAISLEY PARK and Thyme Hill are the market leaders for the World Hurdle after they fought out the finish in the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury 3 weeks ago and the former is taken to come out on top this time now they are racing off level terms. Main Fact has compiled a truly remarkable record and shouldn't be underestimated going up in class for all his rider is unable to use his claim.

  1. PAISLEY PARK (IRE)
  2. THYME HILL
