The Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot is the final Grade 1 contest on the horse racing schedule before we tuck into our Crimbo dinners.
Stamina is needed by the bucketload as 3m½f awaits the runners, and the contest should provide a few early clues for the biggest race of the season in the division, the Paddy Power Stayers’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
Crambo emerged as a new star on the staying scene after pipping popular old boy Paisley Park by a short head in last year’s thrilling renewal.
Long Walk Hurdle odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details for this year’s renewal are below.
