Stayers’ Hurdle Ante-Post Tip | 2023 Cheltenham Festival Best Bets

PAISLEY PARK (Each-way) @ 14/1 with bet365

The Emma Lavelle-trained Paisley Park has been a regular in the Stayers’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in recent years and if making it to post on Thursday 16th March 2023, it will be his fifth run in the day three feature. He rates our value Stayers’ Hurdle ante-post tip at this stage.

Paisley Park Has Been Placed Three Times In Stayers’ Hurdle

This 11 year-old has a top record in the race – winning the prize when at the peak of his powers in 2019, but has also picked up two bronze medals in the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle since 2019 – including for the last two years, when third to Flooring Porter, and there’s every chance he’ll be back for more in 2023.

2022 – 3rd (17/2)
2021 – 3rd (9/4 fav)
2020 – UP (4/6 fav)
2019 – 1st (11/8 fav)

No Spring-Chicken At 11, But Still Loving His Racing

Of course, at the age of 11 this is likely to be his final season and could also be his last Festival outing, but he’s shown this season that he’s still got a healthy appetite for racing by winning the Long Walk Hurdle on Boxing Day at Kempton – a race that is often a good guide for the Stayers’ Hurdle. While prior to that run was a close second in the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury.

Yes, his last run was a below-par third in the Cleeve Hurdle – a race he’s won three times in the past – but he’s named after the singer Prince’s home and studio, and just like that famous ‘Purple Rain’ performer did, Paisley Park has reinvented himself many times over the years too, so it would be no shock to see him leave that last run behind him.

Paisley Park Has Only Finished Out of The First Three Four Times From 25 Runs Over Hurdles

PP is also a very consistent performer over hurdles – from his 25 races over the sticks he’s won 11 and finished in the top three 21 times. Therefore, this means he’s finished 4th or worse just four times over hurdles.

Several Ahead of Him In The Market Likely To Have Other Targets

The other positive in backing Paisley Park each-way for the 2023 Stayers Hurdle @ 14/1 with bet365 is that here is every chance several horses ahead of him in the ante-post betting market will not even run in the race.

Some, like last year’s winner Flooring Porter are facing a race against time to make the race after an injury and the same can be said for Klassical Dream. While the likes of Marie’s Rock, Sir Gerhard and Monkfish are all likely to have other targets at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival.

All this means, that if some ahead of him don’t run, then his current price of 14/1 is likely to be a lot shorter come the day.

Plus, with the safety-net of the Bet365 Non Runner, No Bet on all the 2023 Cheltenham Festival races (including the Stayers Hurdle), then even if the Paisley Park doesn’t make the race, you’ll get your money back with this Cheltenham Festival betting offer for new and existing customers.
