The Mares’ Hurdle is the big chance for the girls to strut their stuff on the opening day of the Cheltenham Festival.
Quevega bagged an incredible six wins in a row between 2009 and 2014 to establish Willie Mullins as the leading trainer in the race – run over the intermediate distance of 2m4f – but other handlers have shared success in recent years with the likes of Roksana, Honeysuckle and Black Tears on the scoresheet.
NEW TO PADDY POWER NEWS?
Marie’s Rock landed last year’s renewal for Nicky Henderson and the defending champion faces a proper test for her Grade 1 title if her principal rivals including Honeysuckle take their chance in March.
You can run the rule over our Mares’ 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.

Mares’ Hurdle 2023 betting
Mares’ Hurdle odds are on paddypower.com and prices for the leading contenders can be seen on our snazzy widgets below.
Honeysuckle is the favourite with Paddy Power for the Mares’ Hurdle after connections indicated the 2020 winner would be trained for this race instead of the Champion Hurdle.
Marie’s Rock is next in the early betting after looking better than ever on seasonal reappearance when landing the Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham.
Willie Mullins has yet to unleash BrandyLove this season but the winner of last year’s Mares Novice Hurdle Championship Final at Fairyhouse is also prominent in our antepost market.
