Cheltenham Stayers’ Hurdle – What you need to know
The Stayers’ Hurdle is the highlight of day three at the Cheltenham Festival, showcasing the best long-distance hurdlers in the sport. Let’s get you up to speed with the key facts surrounding this prestigious race.
How long is the Stayers’ Hurdle, when’s it held and where’s it run?
The Stayers’ Hurdle is a key fixture at the Cheltenham Festival, taking centre stage on day three. Scheduled for 4pm on Thursday 13th March 2025, the race is a true test of stamina, stretching just under three miles, making it significantly longer than both the Champion Hurdle and Champion Chase.
Over the years, the race has undergone several rebrands, with Ladbrokes sponsoring it as the World Hurdle between 2005 and 2015. However, with Paddy Power now backing the event, it has reverted to its original name, the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle.
While Stayers’ Hurdle winners rarely make the transition to the Grand National, it’s not unheard of. More Of That famously won the Stayers’ Hurdle in 2014 before later taking on Aintree’s demanding fences. More often, top finishers in the Stayers’ Hurdle go on to compete in the Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree, run at 3:05pm on Grand National day.

We’ll give you some insight into each of the big contenders for the Stayers’ Hurdle below.
Teahupoo
Teahupoo successfully justified favouritism in last year’s Stayers Hurdle and followed it up with another victory at the Punchestown Festival in May. Been in solid form this season and remains the one to beat.
Lucky Place
He’ll come to the Cheltenham Festival on the back of two impressive wins. The second of which saw him beat potential Stayers’ Hurdle rivals Gowel Road and Langer Dan.
The Wallpark
The Wallpark racked up four straight wins before his last appearance at Ascot. He only came home in fourth, but it was a decent performance overall. Late support from punters strengthens the case he’ll run well in the Stayers’ Hurdle.
Home By The Lee
Home By The Lee has yet to enjoy a big moment at the Cheltenham Festival, but connections will be hopeful after he started the new season with back-to-back victories in Ireland. Wins in the Lismullen Hurdle and Savills Hurdle, both times ahead of Bob Olinger, mean there will be confidence even at 10 years of age.
Bob Olinger
Bob Olinger already has two Cheltenham festival wins under his belt and could roll back the clock. However, he finished second to Stayer’s Hurdle rival Home By The Lee in both of his last two races
Mystical Power
Willie Mullins had his runner in fine form last year but has failed to replicate it this term. He’ll have to run to his absolute best to mount any challenge for the 2025 Stayer’s Hurdle.
Cheltenham Stayers’ Hurdle Winners
Teahupoo will target a second Stayers’ Hurdle victory this year, as he seeks to join a select group of horses to have won the race on two or more occasions. Flooring Porter is one of nine horses to have won the Stayers’ Hurdle at least twice, but Big Buck’s is the only four-time winner, while Inglis Drever is the other three-time winner on the Cheltenham Stayers’ Hurdle roll of honour.

How to watch and stream the Stayers’ Hurdle
The Stayers’ Hurdle is one of the highlights of the Cheltenham Festival, so it’s worth the effort of watching the race, especially if you’ve placed a bet.
ITV screen the early races throughout the Festival, so that’s one way to watch the drama play out. However the later races aren’t available on free-to-air to TV, so we’d suggest looking to bookmakers as the best solution. The majority now provide a streaming service to their customers for free, and many even allow you to cash out any bets mid-race, which is a great perk of having a betting account for the Cheltenham Stayers’ Hurdle.
