2024 Hyde Novices Hurdle Tips

The 2024 Hyde Novices Hurdle will take some winning and perhaps it’s Valgrand who can deliver the goods. The five-year-old has registered a hat-trick of wins this season, with the latest victory coming at Cheltenham when winning the Sky Bet Novices’ Hurdle on 25 October. It was a staggering seventeen-lengths victory and a repeat performance could see a win here.

Previously to this, there had been a success at Bangor-on-Dee over two miles, three and a half furlongs, while there was another May success at Uttoxeter. However, Minella Sixo is another five-year-old with solid credentials and the Gordon Elliott-trained runner is carrying less weight than the favourite.

There was a second-placed finish at Cheltenham last time out when running well in a Novices’ Hurdle, with that coming after an eight-length victory at Fairyhouse. However, Flying Fortune is another horse that catches the eye and the five-year-old is bidding for a fifth consecutive win on Friday.

Last time out came a success at Chepstow, with the 2/1 favourite triumphing by seven lengths in Persian War Novices’ Hurdle and that came after two successes at Worcester. Previously to this, there was a win at Market Rasen and it’s also noticeable that this horse is near the bottom of the weights order which should be an advantage.
