Liverpool Hurdle Information
The 2012 win by Big Buck's was the fourth consecutive win at the Liverpool Hurdle for that runner and trainer. Over the previous ten years, we have seen little consistency with runners, the only exception being Whisper between 2014 and 2015, when they achieved two back-to-back wins.
By way of trainers form, Nicky Henderson and Paul Nicholls have been the most successful in recent years and were the only ones to achieve multiple wins before Gordon Elliott won in back-to-back years with Sire du Berlais.
This is a race where many runners of the Cheltenham Festival Stayers Hurdle in the previous month compete again.
