The Triumph Hurdle is the 2 mile championship for novice hurdlers, and one of the highlights of Gold Cup Day at the Cheltenham Festival.
2024 Triumph Hurdle Preview
Majborough comes into the 2024 The Triumph Hurdle as the favourite despite winning just once over hurdles, and finishing third to Kargese at Leopardstown in his last race. Priced under 4/1 he looks underpriced.
Karagese, meanwhile, is fourth in the betting and comes into the Triumph Hurdle on the back of his Grade 1 hurdles win at Leopardstown in February and is yet to finish outside the top two over hurdlers.
If you’re going to go on unbeaten records for your betting, Salver, who is priced over 10/1, has four wins from four starts over hurdles, including a Grade 2 win at Chepstow in December.

About the Triumph Hurdle
The JCB Triumph Hurdle is the second of two Grade 1 novices hurdles run over 2 miles at the Cheltenham Festival, the other being the Supreme Novices Hurdle. Unlike the Supreme Novices Hurdle, the Triumph Hurdle restricts entry to 4-year-old novice hurdlers, eliminating age difference from the factors that decide the race winner. Eight hurdles are jumped in the course of the race.
The Triumph Hurdle is one of the highest profile novice races at the Cheltenham Festival and attracts strong fields. It is common for horses who compete in the Triumph Hurdle to go on to compete in the Champion Hurdle, and four horses have achieved a double of victories in both races.
The JCB Triumph Hurdle is a hard race to untangle, with the youthful and inexperienced field prone to producing upsets. This is demonstrated by the poor record antepost favourites have in this race. While it wins by the favourite do happen, it is far more common for the antepost favourite to finish outside the places altogether.
So when looking for candidates ignore the markets. Form is important, and restricting bets to horses that won or placed last time out is advisable. Also look out for the winner of Ireland’s Spring Juvenile Hurdle if it is running in this race, as winners of that race have an outstanding track record when they go on to compete in the Triumph Hurdle.
