Klassical Dream made the successful transition to three miles at Punchestown last spring, winning the Champion Stayers' Hurdle on his first start of the season. Willie Mullins' charge collected another Grade One at Punchestown over Christmas, and the former Supreme now sits happily atop the Stayers' Hurdle betting.

Last year's winner, Flooring Porter recovered after a slow start to place second behind Klassical Dream at Punchestown, and Gavin Cromwell's star is fancied by many to retain his crown at the Cheltenham Festival.

Champ jumped into Stayers' Hurdle contention by beating Thyme Hill in the Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot before Christmas. Despite losing out at Ascot, Thyme Hill can also be backed at a single-figure price to win at the Cheltenham Festival.

Brewin'upastorm and two-time Pertemps Final winner, Sire Du Berlais can both be backed at 16/1. Abacadabras, Thomas Darby and Paisley Park can all currently be found at 33/1.
