Ballymore Novices Hurdle Betting

Neptune Investment Novices Hurdle Betting

The Neptune Investment formally the Ballymore Novices Hurdle and it also used to be the Royal & Sun Alliance is for 4 year olds plus and a Neptune Novices Hurdle tip is that as this race six year olds have done very well.

The two mile five furlong distance means stayers and potential Ladbroke World Hurdlers or long distance chasers of the future and as such suits slightly older horse who are fully matured.

After a spate of favourites winning this race between the years of 1997 and 2000 no favourite has gone on to win this race until last year when Mikael d'Haguenet came home in front the 5/2 favourite.

Winning trends in this race point towards horses that have arrived at Cheltenham fresh after experiencing a light National Hunt Racing season. It is important to select a horse that has win its previous race before coming to the Cheltenham Festival as these horses are in good form and ready to take on the best competition.
