No rush for Paisley camp call

Emma Lavelle says there is no rush to decide on Stayers’ Hurdle hero Paisley Park’s next outing.

The seven-year-old cruised to Cheltenham Festival glory on Thursday, adding a second Grade 1 to his previous success in the JLT Hurdle at Ascot, and questions inevitably started to be asked about potential future plans.

Lavelle was quick to rule out a run next month at Aintree but there are still other options available before the end of the campaign.

A run at the Punchestown Festival has been mooted but the Wiltshire handler says she will not be rushed into making a call on her stable star.

She said: ‘He’s in great order but Aintree will come too soon.

It’s too close to Cheltenham.

‘We’ll see what happens whether we go to Punchestown or not.

He’s had a great year.

He’s only seven years old.

He’s got a great future ahead of him, touch wood.’
