Stayers holder and Andrew Nelis banker for festival
      Cleeve hurdle Cheltenham 

Today at Cheltenham in there seasonal cleeve hurdle , saw current holder and stayers hurdle champion  paisley pk take on a number of notable stayers  with the 3mile cleeve . Tobefair Somerville boy  lami Serge being the bulk of the opposition in what was a keen run race  and a finish  that would put the winner paisley pk  firmly on course for the stayers in March at the festival.  They had taken off at a reasonable pace in the 3m 12 obstacles with Somerville leading the pace , now paisley just sat in behind most of the race , only heading when approaching the second last , and it was his pace and toe  that sent him on , to win back to back cleeves  IMO it sets him up bar a fall, to line up and have them all at his mercy come the festival.  Paisley pk is a 8 yr old of Emma lavells onboard the reliable and astute jockey Aidan Coleman.   Keep watching for my tips and reviews leading up to the festival . Paisley pk will set it all alight for what promises to be a great renewal for connections and the current champion.
