The 2025 Champions Stayers Hurdle starts at 6pm on Wednesday 1st May, shortly after the conclusion of the first Grade 1 race of the day, in the shape of the GR1 Barberstown Castle Novice Chase at 5:25pm.

We are expecting an exciting Champions Stayers Hurdle on Day 3 of Punchestown festival, as there is a massive €180,000 to be won for the winner, while the likes of Teahupoo will be desperate to reclaim his crown having lost it to Bob Olinger in 2024. Despite last year’s result, Teahupoo does come in as favourite at 13/8, with Bob Olinger not running at this year’s event.

If there is any race horse to look out for as a potential challenger to Teahupoo here, then Hiddenvalley Lake could be the one at 11/2, as the Henry De Bromhead trained horse earned a sensational Grade 1 Liverpool Hurdle victory in early April; during that race, Jetara who is trained by Jessica Harrrington was hot on Huddenvalley Lake’s heels and could be a potential dark horse for this event at an outsider price of 9/1.
