2025 Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle Betting Odds at Punchestown racecourse

Sunday, 12 January 2025

Salvator Mundi looks like the horse to beat when it comes to the Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle, with the five-year-old boasting some strong performances already in his career. However, perhaps stablemate Kel Histoire is better value at a bigger price, with the horse having won on both outings so far this term.

Gordon Elliott has Sporting Glory and this horse was successful on a previous outing this season, while Sky Lord also landing a victory and the six-year-old could continue to improve for trainer Henry de Bromhead. Ballygunner Castle is another horse who could be in the reckoning along with Casheldale Lad.

2025 Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle Tips

Willie Mullins has a strong hand when it comes to the Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle, including favourite Salvator Mundi. The five-year-old produced a fine performance to triumph at Tipperary in the middle of May and the victory was achieved by an astonishing sixty-two lengths. Previously to this came a sixth-placed finish in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham.

However, there could be plenty more to come from Kel Histoire, with Mullins having seen his charge record successive wins in a short career to date. There was a victory in France in November 2023 and that was followed by a success in Cork last month. In the Mallow Maiden Hurdle, the horse was able to oblige as the 4/5 favourite.

Sporting Glory has plenty of experience and the Gordon Elliott-trained runner was able to score last time out. The nine-year-old obliged at Galway towards the end of October when achieving a six-length victory when fending off thirteen other horses. Previously to that, there had been three successive races at Fairyhouse including a victory.

Sky Lord and Ballygunner Castle are also trading at single figure prices. The former was a winner for Henry de Bromhead last time out, with the six-year-old beating nineteen other runners in a competitive maiden hurdle. The latter was able to oblige with two wins this term and is another Mullins-trained runner with the potential to go well.
