Cheltenham Festival 2024 – Day 3 Stayers Hurdle Preview with Gold Cup winning jockey Andrew Thornton.
The Stayers Hurdle has been one of the most open divisions for several seasons now, and this is no exception. Popular choices will the old stagers Paisley Park, Dashel Drasher and Flooring Porter coming back to try and win this race for the 3rd time.
But I'm going to go with one of the youngsters, Crambo. Fergal O'Brien he's trying to break his. Cheltenham Festival duck - Will it be this year? He has had plenty of winners at Cheltenham meetings, but not at the festival, but Crambo seems to get on very well with Johnny Burke, who took over last time, got a home by a narrow margin and they've decided to give him a break and come here fresh as a youngster.
He's tough and I think he'll stay every yard of these three miles - so I'm going to go for the youngster in Crambo.
