Emma Lavelle's Paisley Park is back this weekend, heading down the same route to the festival as he did last term by trying to defend his title in the Grade One Long Walk Hurdle.
The seven year old had the season of a life time last year when winning all of his seven contests including two Grade Ones, the first ever for his yard, and brought the house down at the Cheltenham festival in the Stayers Hurdle.
He is aiming to defend his Grade One title at Prestbury Park this year and went the right way about it landing the Grade Two Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury on his seasonal debut.
He was workman like that day and will be much fitter and stronger for that run heading into this contest as the odds on favourite.
