2024 Aintree Hurdle preview
The Aintree Hurdle has produced two short odds frontrunners in Impaire Et Passe and Bob Olinger.
While both horses appear underpriced given their recent form, it is Bob Olinger who looks the better of the two given that he has two wins in Grade 2s over the race distance this season.
At 50/1 Mahon’s Glory is an interesting prospect, having won over 2 miles 5 furlongs on his last outing – albeit against a far lower quality field.
