Home By The Lee digs deeps for Stayers’ success

By Racing TV

Last Updated: Thu 12 Mar 2026

Stamina came to the fore as Home By The Lee made it fifth-time-lucky in the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.

In a fascinating contest, J J Slevin aboard the 11-year-old urgently asked his mount to move on to Hewick’s tail moving down hill but as he rounded the turn for home the pursuers were queuing up to make their challenge, with Home By The Lee already giving maximum effort.

The eye was drawn in particular to Dan Skelton’s Kabral Du Mathan under a motionless Harry Skelton as he hit the front jumping the final obstacle.

However, Home By The Lee was a determined rival and as Kabral du Mathran’s stride shortened, the 33-1 shot rallied bravely to see off the fast-finishing Ballyburn by a length and a quarter.
