2024 Top Novices Hurdle Preview
Mystical Power, the second place finished in the Supreme Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham last month, takes top billing in the Top Novices Hurdle, trading at close to Evens.
While Supreme Novices Hurdle 3rd place finisher Firefox is next in the betting markets, Dysart Enos appears to be the greater threat to the favourite.
He’s never raced at this level, but is unbeaten over hurdles and offers value on each-way bets.
