2022 Supreme Novices Hurdle Betting Tip
I believe the race and indeed the market will revolve around the participation of the Mullins top 2. it looks more and more like Sir Gerhard is to be rerouted to the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle so Dysart Dynamo will represent the Mullins yard here, along with Kilcruit. Kilcruit is a horse coming into favour with a number of pundits and Patrick Mullins has said that that is the horse he’d like to ride in the race given the choice.
However, my selection for this race is going to be JONBON (if Sir Gerhard does not run). The Nicky Henderson yard form is a slight concern but Jonbon has done nothing wrong so far and his quick, low jumping is perfect for a Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. He’s gone on to win the Grade 2 Howden Kennel Gate Novices’ Hurdle at Ascot and the Grade 2 Sky Bet Supreme Trial Rossington Main Novices’ Hurdle and better ground than hislast outing at Haydock puts him right in the mix.
JONBON to win the Supreme Novice Hurdle – Jonbon (4/1)
