Teahupoo can prove himself the king of the staying hurdling division by avenging last year’s defeat to Cheltenham specialist Bob Olinger in the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle.

Victorious in this race two years ago, Teahupoo surrendered his crown last year but is unbeaten in three starts since to take his total Grade One tally to seven.
