The County Hurdle is typically one of the most exciting handicaps on the Cheltenham Festival schedule as it is renowned for attracting big fields.
There are eight flights for the runners and riders to tackle over 2m1f on the New Course at Cheltenham and the first past the post will bag £56,270 for connections.
Willie Mullins is the leading trainer in the County Hurdle and State Man was the latest of his six winners when making a mockery of his handicap mark in last year’s renewal.
You can run the rule over our County Hurdle odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.
