Williamhill.com Supreme Novices Hurdle Betting Tips
In the 1:30 opening race, Cousin Vinny holds a slight edge across the board ahead of Torphichen. Cousin Vinny, a six year-old Irish horse whose last victory came a month and a half ago at the European Breeders Fund Irish Racing Writers Novice Hurdle, holds a great record in hurdles racing with 5 wins and a third out of seven starts total. Deposit between £10 and £100, make a win single bet and Blue Square will credit your account with a matched FREE BET up to £100!A win at Leopardstown was in the cards during the Deloitte Novice Hurdle was undone on the last hurdle after a superb fightback after a mistake on the fourth hurdle. Cousin Vinny appears to be weighted well for this race and is starting to emerge as the punters favourite as we get closer to post time. You can understand why many people are looking at Torphichen as a real contender in the Supreme Novices Hurdle, especially since he boasts a 100% record in hurdles racing, albeit from a mere two races. Torphichen will be going into this opening race with two hurdles wins under his belt in less than a month and a half, triumphing at Sandowne and Ludlow in mid February and late January. If A P McCoy is set to pilot Torphichen I would edge his odds up a bit and I'm tempted to have a go. I've heard chatter from other punters who are looking at ConflictofInterest and Michael Flips as possible foils to Cousin Vinny, but I'm still unconvinced about both of them, however Conflictofinterest could factor into the ultimate equation, but I consider 1st and 2nd place pretty much locked up in this race. Verdict: Reverse Forecast- Cousin Vinny/Torphichen @ 11/4 x 5/1 with Blue Square.
