Trends are useful when it comes to picking up the potential winner in the Stayers’ Hurdle betting odds. Here are a few pointers to help punters make their selection:
Key statistical trends for the Stayers Hurdle Chase
Age: Nine of the last 12 Stayers’ Hurdles have been won by a horse aged either 6 or 7.
Recent form: Most winners were well-fancied or with solid recent performances. A majority of winners finished in the top 2 last time out before running at Cheltenham.
Previous Cheltenham experience: Only one of the last 12 winners of the Stayers had never previously run at Cheltenham, suggesting experience at Prestbury Park is key to this race.
Trainers: Irish-trained runners have performed particularly well historically, winning seven of the last 10 races. Gordon Elliott has won two of the last three races, while Willie Mullins’ and Gavin Cromwell-trained horses have also fared well.
Repeat winners: Since Big Bucks won the last of his four consecutive Stayers’ titles in 2012, the race has only produced one repeat winner (Flooring Porter), with six out of seven champions failing in their attempt to retain the title.
Market trends
Favourites: Only three of the last 12 favourites have won the Stayers’ Hurdle and only five out of 12 finished in the places.
Outsiders: The Stayers Hurdle has seen a greater spread of big price winners than other major races at Cheltenham. Sire Du Berlais and Lisnagar Oscar had Cheltenham Stayers Hurdle odds of 33/1 and 50/1 in 2023 and 2020 respectively.
