The name says it all, the Stayer’s Hurdle is the UK’s championship stayer’s hurdle race, featuring the top rated staying hurdlers in National Hunt racing.
2024 Stayers Hurdle Preview
Teahupoo comes into the 2024 Stayers Hurdle as the favourite, with his popularity based on his close 3rd place finish in last year’s Stayer’s Hurdle as well as a recent Grade 1 win at Fairyhouse over 2 miles 4 furlongs.
Crambo is a rapidly improving horse priced not far behind the favourite and heads to Cheltenham on the back of a narrow win in the Grade 1 Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot.
Noble Yeats is a horse who has spent most of his career racing over fences, but has recently switched back to hurdles, winning over 3 miles at Cheltenham in January. He’s never finished outside the top two over hurdles and offers good value at his price.

About the Stayers Hurdle
The World Hurdle, recently rebranded as the Stayers’ Hurdle, is the most prestigious 3 mile hurdles race in National Hunt racing. The race is open to 4-year-old and above hurdlers who are required to jump 12 hurdles in the course of the race.
Multiple winners of the Stayers’ Hurdle are considered amongst the greatest racehorses in National Hunt history, and include the likes of Inglis Drever and Big Buck’s. The quality of entries tends to limit the size of the field, with betting usually dominated by one or two outstanding favourites.
A proven record as a staying hurdler is the obvious prerequisite for a win in the Stayers’ Hurdle, with previous wins in Grade 1 staying hurdles races advantageous but not essential. The betting market will usually sort the top candidates according to these criteria, and the antepost favourite will typically have won one or more of the Grade 1 3 mile hurdles races earlier in the season.
In recent years these antepost favourites have had a good success rate, and even when the favourite fails you’ll rarely find a horse priced over 8/1 winning the race. This means you can focus your bets on the cluster of horses priced below 8/1.
And if you’re not keen on the all-or-nothing risk of backing a short odds favourite, you’ll find a couple of handy each-way contenders priced within this margin.
