Supreme Novices Hurdle Tips 2009 Monday 09 March 2009 at 16:46 The Supreme Novices' Hurdle is the first race of the 2009 Cheltenham Festival and is off at 1.30pm. It is often one of the most popular races at the Festival as everyone wants to begin with a winner.
Cousin Vinny The Favourite
The favourite for the race is Cousin Vinny who fell when looking a likely winner in a Grade One hurdle last time out at Leopardstown. Cousin Vinny is 11/4 with Bet365 and Sportingbet. Reports are that Cousin Vinny did not travel from Ireland too well and it looks as though it could be one to take on.
Where To Place Your Bets
Paddy Power are refunding all bets on the race if Cousin Vinny wins. That means all bets on any other horse should be placed at Paddy Power as an extra insurance policy.
Forecast Rain Could Suit These Two
The clear second favourite is David Pipe's Torphichen who has won both his starts over hurdles. There is plenty of rain forecast for Monday night and every drop of rain will favour Torphichen who is 6/1 with Paddy Power. Another who will appreciate softer ground is Go Native who is 10/1 with Paddy Power.
Others To Consider
Others that need to be given consideration include Kempes who is 11/1 with Paddy Power, who seems to go on any ground, whilst Micheal Flips (11/1 Paddy Power)and Red Maloney (12/1 Paddy Power) are two to consider if the predicted rain does not materialise.
