The Grade One Champion Hurdle is the feature contest on day one (Tuesday) of the Cheltenham Festival and is run over 2m on the old course. We give you the key Champion Hurdle trends to help you pick the winner based on past statistics. Use these trends to find the best profiles – including age, trainer, current form etc, of recent Champion Hurdle winners.
The Champion Hurdle is recognised as the most prestigious hurdling race of the jumps season and is currently sponsored by leading bookmaker Unibet – the 2021 Champion Hurdle winner was the Henry De Bromhead-trained mare Honeysuckle, powered home to win by 6 ½ lengths, and is likely to be back for more to defend her Champion Hurdle title in 2022.
Here at JUICESTORM we take a look back at recent winners and gives you the key Champion Hurdle trends to look out for ahead of the 2022 renewal – this year run on Tuesday 15th March.

JUICESTORM VERDICT: It’s anyone’s guess to the level of form and fitness last year’s Supreme Novices’ Hurdle winner – Appreciate It. He’s looked top class and has won all four hurdles starts for the powerful Willie Mullins yard. But he’s not been seen since winning at the Festival 12 months ago and that’s the worry for all his backers. Therefore, it’s hard to get away from the current champ – HONEYSUCKLE. She’s won all 14 starts over hurdles now after landing her third Irish Champion Hurdle last month at Leopardstown and gets the handy 7lbs allowance again. Of the rest, 5 year-olds don’t have the best record in the race so Teahupoo, although I do think this horse will be useful in time, Zanahiyr and Adagio all have this trend to overcome. The 2020 winner – Epatante – has returned this season to win the Fighting Fifth and Christmas Hurdles and getting the mares’ allowance is another you can’t rule out. But the safe call is to stick with Honeysuckle, with TEAHUPOO and EPATANTE the clear e/w value calls in the race for me.
