Tomorrow, May 1, 2025Hurdle2m7f

TEAHUPOO lost his Cheltenham Stayers' Hurdle crown to a Henry de Bromhead-trained Robcour ownermate but is taken to get the better of a similar duel this time and prove too strong for Liverpool Hurdle hero Hiddenvalley Lake. Jetara wasn't far behind the latter at Aintree and may prove best of the remainder.
