Cheltenham Race 4 - Paddy Power Stayers' Hurdle (Grade 1) (Gbb Race)

KABRAL DU MATHAN (9) Goes well when fresh. Pulled away to win by 5 1/2L last start in a hurdle at Cheltenham. Jockey Harry Skelton is an asset. Respect. BALLYBURN (1) Has a good record first up. Ran well when 3rd last start in a hurdle at Leopardstown. Paul Townend is a smart booking. Worth a ticket. IMPOSE TOI (8) Finished with intent when 2nd last start in a hurdle at Cheltenham. More confidence with jockey Nico De Boinville guiding the horse. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. TEAHUPOO (11) Proven record when resuming. Spaced the field to win by a margin of 7L last time in a hurdle at Leopardstown. Will be positive in the run early. Will give a big sight.
