Day 1 Tuesday Feature Racing Tips – Champion Hurdle

The Champion Hurdle is a Grade 1 National Hunt hurdle race that promises to provide all the excitement that the headline act has in years past.

The 2025 Champion Hurdle will take place at Cheltenham Racecourse in Gloucestershire, England, on Tuesday 11th of March, 2024. The race is open to horses aged four years or older and is run over a distance of two miles and half a furlong.

Champion Hurdle 2025 Race Preview & Tips

The Champion Hurdle has been a happy hunting ground for Nicky Henderson who boasts a leading nine wins in the race with five of those shared between two horses, See You Then (three) and Buveur d’Air (two). State Man put an end to his terrific record in 2024 as stable star Constitution Hill missed out on the race due to an infection.

Supreme Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 1) – Preview & Tips

The roar as the tapes go up for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle on Tuesday at the Cheltenham Festival is one of the must-feel moments in sport. A race won six times in the last 12 years by Willie Mullins. The maestro from Closutton holds a strong hand again this time around and, in recent years, his entries are always the first to take a look at on the racecard.

Arkle Challenge Trophy (Grade 1) – Preview & Tips

Mullins has also been responsible for six of the last 10 winners of the Arkle, even with his success with El Fabiolo in 2023 breaking a snap of 3 years without one. Gaelic Warrior bolted up in 2024 for the yard and contenders are plentiful at this stage with many horses’ paths still undecided, but a burgeoning superstar in Ballyburn, last year’s Gallagher Novices’ Hurdle winner is at top of many punters’ list.
