Old Park StarSupreme Novices’ Hurdle Betting News
All three placed horses from last year’s Supreme have now left novice hurdling behind, and Old Park Star and Mydaddypaddy already feature in the betting for the 2027 Champion Hurdle. That leaves the Supreme open to a fresh crop of novices, and the key trials this winter will shape the market.
Early prices are already available, with Feel Gut heading the betting at a best price of 12/1 at the time of writing. Champion Bumper winner The Mourne Rambler is 16/1 alongside Down Jones Road and Love Me Tender, while Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle co-favourite Even Tho is among those at 25/1.
