Supreme Novices' Hurdle Odds: Leading Contenders
Alongside some great Cheltenham free bets on site, we've also got a range of betting tips, and helpful content like this, with odds for a race.
Below, a look over the leading contenders for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle.
Old Park Star
Favourite for some time, the Nicky Henderson trained Old Park Star could be a superstar, and there will be plenty of people on him in the opener.
Towards the head of the Supreme Novices' Hurdle odds for some time now, he's three from three over hurdles, romping home in a Grade Two on his most recent start.
A fascinating prospect, and a rare British favourite in a race that Ireland often hold a strong hand in.
Talk The Talk
A horse that's chosen to come here for the shorter trip, instead of running in the Turners Novices' Hurdle on Wednesday.
Trained by Joseph O'Brien, there's a question mark over his jumping, falling once and winning despite mistakes in others.
But he clearly has an engine, and this shorter trip does feel the right choice for now.
Mighty Park
Willie Mullins often sends a star to this race, but Mighty Park doesn't have that reputation just yet, it's all about potential with him.
Just one hurdles run, but he couldn't have been any more impressive winning by 38 lengths without coming off the bridle.
Fascinating, for sure, a big ask for any horse to win this on just their second hurdles start.
El Cairos
El Cairos might be the best of these when there's no hurdles involved, but he's been clumsy on plenty of occasions over his hurdles.
Two runs, he fell before winning despite mistakes last time. There's a lot more to come, you can tell that, and will have no doubt worked on his jumping since.
You know he's going to be better coming here, but can he improve enough to win this?
