The three-mile Liverpool Hurdle is the last Grade One long-distance hurdle of the British jump racing season. The race takes place as the fourth race on the third and final day of the prestigious Aintree Festival meeting. It is scheduled as the last race before the highly anticipated Grand National on Saturday.
It will normally feature horses that ran well in the Stayers’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival the previous month. This will be the 21st renewal at Aintree Racecourse and proves a good test for the best staying hurdlers on both sides of the Irish Sea.

Liverpool Hurdle History
The race was originally run at Ascot Racecourse before being switched to Aintree in 2004 when it originally opened the Grand National meeting on day one. It was after this location change that it earned its current name after the city of Liverpool.
Six years later, it was granted Grade One status by the British Horseracing Authority, and in 2013, it was moved to its current position on Grand National day. The race has become synonymous with the Paul Nicholls-trained Big Buck’s after the talented horse managed to win four years in a row between 2009 and 2012.
