Dominant Teahupoo Heads the Stayers’ Hurdle Odds
Gordon Elliott’s Teahupoo dominates the Stayers’ Hurdle odds following impressive wins in the Hatton’s Grace and Christmas Hurdle.
The nine-year-old boasts proven Grade 1 staying power, course form at Cheltenham (previous winner), and the stamina to grind out races on the uphill finish.
Recent performances show no signs of regression, making him a strong favourite for a potential repeat.
Elliott’s excellent record in staying hurdles and Jack Kennedy’s booking add confidence – at around 7/2, Teahupoo is the one to beat if he arrives in peak condition.
Honesty Policy Offers Strong Each-Way Claims
Gordon Elliott’s stablemate Honesty Policy has drifted in the Stayers’ Hurdle to odds of 9/1.
The six-year-old has shown progressive form, including a solid third in the Long Walk Hurdle, and his staying ability suits the three-mile test perfectly.
Lightly raced with upside, he still represents a serious threat if the favourite falters.
Elliott’s dual entries provide strength in depth – at current prices, Honesty Policy delivers excellent each-way value in what could be another Irish-dominated renewal.
Kabral Du Mathan Remains a Live Danger
Dan Skelton’s Kabral Du Mathan features strongly in the Stayers’ Hurdle odds at 7/2.
The six-year-old displays bold jumping, strong staying form, and progression that fits recent winners who peak at the Festival.
Connections target this race, and his profile suggests he could challenge at the top level.
With Skelton’s rising Festival success, Kabral Du Mathan provides solid each-way insurance or a win alternative for those seeking value against the short favourite.
