JCB Triumph Hurdle Form

There a number of key Triumph Hurdle trails throughout the season and we shall be assessing these races with a view to making your job a bit easier when trying to find the 2010 winner of the race. Previous winners such as Katchit and Detroit City highlighted how their form in the build up to the race was important to allowing punters the opportunity to pick out the winner.

Mille Chief the ante post favourite for the Triumph Hurdle missed his engagement at Kempton a couple of weeks before the festival and now out for the season.

The Royal Ascot Racing Club have already enjoyed a Derby winner on the Flat in Motivator, and they look to have a leading chance of a Cheltenham Festival success with the Paul Nicholls-trained Advisor, who has won both his starts impressively A 21-strong entry from Ireland includes the Gordon Elliott-trained Carlito Brigante and Alaivan, who filled the first two places in a Grade Two hurdle at Leopardstown on Boxing Day. Pittoni, who has won both his starts for Charles Byrnes, is another member of a powerful Irish team but was beaten on his latest start at Naven.

Alaivan cemented his place at the head of the market after his impressive hurdling debut at Gowran Park in mid December but his bubbly was well and truly burst at Leopardstown on St Stephens day in the Grade 2 Juvenile hurdle by Carlito Brigante. Alaivan got back to winning ways at Fairyhouse on the 20th February by hacking up in the Winning fair Hurdle and this must put him back into the picture for the Triumph.

The Paul Nicholls' trained Advisor the winner of the juvenile hurdle at Newbury just before Xmas has entered the 2010 Triumph Hurdle betting, he followed up winning the Execution Hurdle at Ascot at the end of January and he looks an improver for the Nicholls stable and will figure prominently in the market for the Triumph in March.

Another who comes into the picture is Mille Chief who was unlucky in his opening hurdle race when brought down but at the William Hill Kempton Christmas meeting he made no mistake and got his first notch on his stable door with a pretty comfortable victory.

The ante post favourite Mille Chief won well on his thrid start over hurdles at Huntingdon at the end of January beating the Nicky Henderson Great Reason. He will have one more run before the festival.

Pittoni is a contender following his win at Leopardstown on Hennessy day but he needs soft ground and his participation will depend on the prevailing conditions but has lost on his prep run at Naven.

Me Voici won well in his warm up race in the Blue Square Novice Hurdle at Haydock on the 20th February. He looks a tough ride and will have to be on his best behaviour to get into the frame on Triumph Hurdle day.
