Summary

Adam Mills, Katie Young, and Emmet Kennedy shine a spotlight on one of the most confusing divisions in racing: the novice hurdlers. Does Salvator Mundi deserve to be a strong favorite for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle? If not, who stands out against him? We analyse Willie Mullins' runner and provide value recommendations, including one horse that could significantly shorten from the 14/1 currently offered by Geoff Banks. With The New Lion a red-hot favorite for the Turners Novices' Hurdle, we ask: have people overlooked the poor record of Challow Hurdle winners at the Cheltenham Festival? Considering that, who can beat him? There's a big disagreement about The Yellow Clay, while Adam shares a 20/1 dark horse for the race. The Potato Race is often a minefield, but Adam has a strong each-way fancy. We also delve into the intriguing juvenile hurdle division and ask if any contenders could step up to the Supreme. Adam shares a strong theory and a bet for the race. Horses discussed: Salvator Mundi, Romeo Coolio, Kaid d'Authie, Kopek Des Bordes, Workahead, Kawaboomga, The New Lion, The Yellow Clay, Final Demand, Potters Charm, Irancy, Jax Junior, Funiculi Funicula, Jet Blue, Zillow, Redemption Day, Regent's Stroll, Lulamba, East India Dock, Hello Neighbour, Lady Vega Allen, Palladium, Sainte Lucie, Mondo Man, Charlus, Live Conti, Stencil.
