The extended 1m 7f Grade 3 Betfair Exchange Trophy Handicap Hurdle at Ascot on Saturday, 18 December (3:35) has often been sponsored by bookmakers. This race is perhaps best known as the Ladbroke Hurdle. There were 16 runners left in this early-closing contest at the five-day stage, so SportsLens experts give their Betfair Exchange Trophy tips and analysis.
Among the entries are the last three winners of the December Handicap Hurdle at Sandown Park. There is also the first, third and fifth from the Greatwood Hurdle during Cheltenham’s November Meeting who could meet again.
