Ladbrokes Champion Stayers Hurdle Tips

All eyes here will be on last year’s winner – KLASSICAL DREAM @ 6/4 with LiveScore Bet – who will be looking to become the first horse since Quevega to win back-to-back runnings of this Punchestown race.

This Willie Mullins runner won the race by 9 lengths last year and has had another decent season with a win at Leopardstown over Christmas and was a respectable fifth in the Stayers Hurdle at Cheltenham last time.

He’s the top-rated in the field (163) and has been freshened up with 42 days off, while we know the track is fine with 2 wins here from 3 outings. He’s taken to give trainer Willie Mullins, who has won this race 5 times in the last 10 runnings, another success.

Of the rest, trainer Gordon Elliott is having a good festival and pins his hopes on Sire Du Berlais, who lowered the colours of Flooring Porter at Aintree last time. This 10 year-old has clearly found a new leash of life at his older age, but the worry would be that he’s run at Punchestown three times and been beaten each time. This race has also seen 12 of the last 18 winners aged 8 or younger.

Former Staying Hurdler – Paisley Park – is another to consider and actually finished ahead of Klassical Dream at Cheltenham last time out (3rd), but he’s another 10 year-old that will need to defy that age trend. Plus, with just one win from his last 7 is a horse that is placed more than winning these days – he’s been third in 4 of his last 5!

Thedevilscoachman looks an improving young staying hurdler that beat another runner here – Ashdale Bob – at Navan last time. He’s a course winner too, but this is his first try beyond 2m5f so the trip is an unknown.

GENTLEMANSGAME (e/w) @ 12/1 with LiveScore Bet looks the each-way play in the race though. This Mouse Morris runner was a tidy 8 length winner at Thurles last month and has been given 1 1/2 months off to get over that run. He clearly enjoys the better ground and will be fine over the trip. He was also second in the Novice 3m race here last season and with just seven career runs looks the sort to have more up his sleeve.

Of the rest, Willie Mullins also has Concertista in the race, who is back over hurldles after flopping in the Mares’ Chase at the Cheltenham Festival last month (5th) and could be interesting getting a handy 7lbs mares allowance from the others.
