Supreme Novices' Hurdle Tips

13:30 Cheltenham
Firefox Silk 3
  • Age:6

  • Form:211-114
The 2024 Cheltenham Festival kicks off with a dozen novice hurdlers facing the tape for the usual curtain raiser the 2M 87 yard Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. Willie Mullins sets a poser by saddling six of the field and with stable jockey Paul Townend choosing Tullyhill, he looks sure to be thereabouts. It may be Mullins’s arch Irish rival Gordon Elliott though that takes first blood with his Firefox. He beat the very smart Ballyburn on his hurdling debut at this trip and although blowing out in the Lawlor’s Of Naas Novice Hurdle in January, that was over 2M 4F and back to the minimum trip and with Jack Kennedy in the plate can get us off to a flyer. He’s worth backing each way with the firms who are paying an extra place.

In a week where he is chasing down 100 Festival winners, trainer Willie Mullins can get off to the best possible start with the unbeaten five-year-old MYSTICAL POWER. Bred in the purple being a son of Galileo out of Champion Hurdle winning mare Annie Power, the way he put distance between himself and his rivals in the Moscow Flyer at Punchestown in January was impressive and there should be plenty more improvement to come. Stablemate Tullyhill has improved with each start this season and his most recent display at Punchestown was of a high standard, though he will need to brush up on his jumping if he is to be seriously involved at the finish. A major disappointment in the Lawlor's Of Naas Hurdle over further last time, Firefox is expected to be much more at home over this trip and the form of his Fairyhouse success over Ballyburn in December looks very strong. The same can be said of Slade Steel, who was runner-up to that same rival at the Dublin Racing Festival but he may be better over further. A trainer that needs no introduction when it comes to this contest, Nicky Henderson is represented by the talented Jeriko Du Reponet, who may have a bit to find in terms of form but should be well suited by the fast-run nature of this contest.
