2013 Supreme Novices’ Hurdle Ante Post Betting Tips

Jezki has emerged as the prohibitive ante post favourite for this year’s iteration of the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. It’s hardly surprising that he’s going into the race with so much momentum, as it will come on the back of a string of high-quality victories at Navan, Fairyhouse and Leopardstown.

The past two victories have come at Grade 1 level and he’s won by a combined 7.5 L margin, especially impressive when you think that he’s running against the best 2m novice hurdlers in Ireland. 

Jezki has a tendency to race closer to the pace and tends to deploy a stalking trip just behind the leaders. Should the going at Cheltenham suit him, you can expect a very similar set of tactics. 

Ante post punters should assume that Barry Geraghty is going to be booked for the mount. Robbie Power was in the irons when Jezki made an appearance at last year’s festival, running a tame eighth in the bumper. 

Those looking for best price on this year’s betting choice for the Supreme Novices will do well to find him at 4/1 with several listing him in the 3/1 or 7/2 range. 

Undefeated Puffin Billy enters the ante post reckoning off the back of a Grade 2 score during the holiday season. He’d been putting away low level runners in some flat contests before breaking his maiden over hurdles at Newbury, the step up to graded level was handled with aplomb - the commentary note “cruised clear” tell you everything you need to know.
