In 2015 the Cheltenham Racecourse Executive decided that the Cheltenham Festival would benefit from a new novice hurdle race restricted to just mares and fillies and introduced the Dawn Run Mares Novices Hurdle.
This two-mile one-furlong race was first run in 2016, and so far, it has been dominated by Irish runners, winning all but one renewal. Read on for Mares Novice Hurdle betting odds, tips and free bets for the 2023 race.

Mares Novices’ Hurdle Tips
The Mares Novice Hurdle is a relatively new Cheltenham Festival race, but one that is growing in stature. With the strength of Irish mares races, they are having a great time with the race right now, and dominating things. Eventually, it’s expected that the UK will catch up and start to roll out winners, but the Irish runners are likely once again to dominate this.
