World Hurdle Form Trends
The stat from our main World Hurdle page that stands out is:
Nine of the last ten winners had previously run at the Cheltenham Festival
This again highlights the essential nature of previous Cheltenham form whereas horses with no previous Festival form appear to face a tough task.
World Hurdle Form Tips
Last year's winner Big Bucks looks the one to beat if all goes well in the run up to the 2010 Festival but he is already a short price.
For those wishing to take a chance in the ante-post market it could be worth siding with Alan King's Karabak.
Runner-up in the Ballymore Properties when perhaps not given AP McCoy's best ever Festival ride he looks sure to take the Stayers Hurdle route which looks questionable for some of the other quoted horses such as Punchestowns, Zaynar and Mikael DHaguenet.
