When is the Irish Champion Hurdle? Leopardstown date, time, runners, betting

State Man will bid to confirm his standing as the nation’s slickest over sticks in the Irish Champion Hurdle.

The feature on day two of the Dublin Racing Festival looks likely to feature a small-but-select cast, with stablemate Impaire Et Passe and dual Cheltenham Festival winner Bob Olinger also in contention to run.

State Man cruised to a 4¾l defeat of Honeysuckle in last year’s renewal, but dominance in Ireland means little as the equine freak that is Constitution Hill lies in wait at the Cheltenham Festival.

You can run the rule over our Irish Champion 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.
