Betting on the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle

The Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle was added to the Cheltenham Festival programme in 2016 when the meeting was extended to 28 races. Now a notable race in its own right, it’s a contest that can be hugely popular with punters, with extra places available from bookmakers and good each-way markets. Big fields often contest it, but it’s a race that will see the elite performers deliver the goods, so the front of the market has often done well.
