William Hill Hurdle 2025 trends and stats for Newbury 3.35 on Saturday
Newbury is set to stage the latest edition of Europe’s richest handicap hurdle over two miles on Saturday.
Iberico Lord sliced through the mud to land last season’s contest but faces a stiff test in attempting to repeat the feat as he is lumbered with joint-top weight of 12st.
There has not been a repeat winner of the race since the first renewal in the 1960s so Nicky Henderson’s runner and 2023 champ Aucunrisque would be defying history if they were to score.
William Hill Hurdle odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise key historical trends from the last 10 renewals and a tip based off the big-race stats are below.
