Triumph Hurdle Tips
Alan Kelly has a Triumph Hurdle NAP included in his Cheltenham day 4 tips below.
Alan Kelly - East India Dock (Nap)
With a field of 18 runners, this year’s Triumph Hurdle looks more like those of previous years prior to the introduction of the Fred Winter back in 2005. The betting would suggest that the outcome rests between the unbeaten pair of the James Owen-trained EAST INDIA DOCK (Nap) and Lulamba from the Nicky Henderson stable.
While the latter joined the Seven Barrows team with a lofty reputation and made light work of winning on his first start for Henderson at Ascot in January, I’m very much in the East India Dock camp, the ex James Fanshawe inmate yet to be extended in three starts over the smaller obstacles.
The most recent success came with an all-the-way victory over today’s course and distance in January. While the runner-up, Stencil, did no favours for the form on the opening day of the festival, Sam Twiston-Davies’ mount could do no more than win with his head in his chest and I expect the son of Golden Horn to take plenty of beating once again. Currently a 2/1 chance, I expect to see 5/2 or 11/4 available about the selection on Friday morning.

British pair East India Dock and Lulamba head the betting market for Friday's opening race.
