2023 Kingwell Hurdle Tips
First Street finished second in the McCoy Contractors County Handicap Hurdle at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival at 16/1 and has continued to impress over the past twelve months. More recently, the horse was able to score in the Coral Bet Bundles Intermediate Handicap Hurdle at Newbury Racecourse on 26 November, with the runner obliging as the 3/1 joint-favourite.
Finishing third in the Relkeel Hurdle was a fairly solid performance at Cheltenham Racecourse and it is interesting that Knappers Hill finished fourth in that race. The latter is second in the betting market when it comes to this encounter, with eight lengths separating the horses last time out, although Paul Nicholls will be confident of a better run this weekend.
After all, there were wins at Chepstow and Wincanton last autumn before that run at Cheltenham, with Bryony Frost on board the charge who was impressive last season although the runner is carrying two extra pounds compared to the market leader and perhaps some punters will instead warm to I Like To Move It instead.
Nigel Twiston-Davies also ran in the Relkeel Hurdle on New Year’s Day and finished sixth, with the horse previously winning the Unibet Greatwood Handicap Hurdle at odds of 17/2 although the runner was disappointing at Cheltenham in the former race when sent off as the 3/1 favourite, with the connections hoping that this was simply an off day.
