Formby Novices Hurdle Betting Odds

We’re counting down to the Formby Novices' Hurdle, with Aintree Racecourse hosting an encounter over two miles and one furlong. Potters Charm has landed a successive hat-trick of wins this season, with Nigel Twiston-Davies looking for his horse to continue his victorious ways and some might think he’s a value bet.

However, this is a competitive encounter and Bleu De Vassy has been able to record back-to-back wins this term, with Gordon Elliott training a horse who could be capable of more heroics, while Romeo Coolio has had more up and down form this term but trades at a similar price to his stablemate.

2024 Formby Novices’ Chase Tips

Potters Charm could be the one to beat in the Formby Novices' Hurdle, with the five-year-old bidding for a fourth consecutive victory. There was a success at Cheltenham in mid-November and that came after a win at the same course in October where the runner was able to triumph over two miles and four furlongs.

Bleu De Vassy has been able to record back to back successes and there’s been a lot to like about the Gigginstown runner this season. Gordon Elliott saddles a horse who was triumphant at Navan in the middle of November, with that coming after a monster success at Fairyhouse where the runner was able to oblige over twenty-five lengths.

Romeo Coolio has won on just one of his three outings this term, although the five-year-old has been respected by the bookmakers. He has an identical rating to his stablemate and there was a solid second place out of eight horses at Fairyhouse, with that coming after a smart victory at Down Royal at the beginning of November when winning by eighteen lengths.

Celtic Dino is another horse who could be one for the shortlist and there were successive wins for a runner who is trained by Sam Thomas and could be a decent each-way price. The horse was last seen winning at Ascot when beating five other rivals and there was a lot to like about a success over four lengths.

2023 Tolworth Novices’ Hurdle Tips

Authorised Speed is a talented six-year-old bidding for a consecutive hat-trick of wins. After finishing an impressive fifth place in last year’s Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival (at odds of 50/1), the horse claimed a victory at Lingfield Park in November when triumphing in a Maiden Hurdle.

There was further success in a Novices’ Hurdle at Sandown Park although we don’t know how good this horse is in esteemed company and perhaps the odds have gone a little too short about a runner who will have plenty to beat in the Tolworth Novices’ Hurdle, especially as Tahmuras has been impressive.

Paul Nicholls will have high hopes for a horse who won a fairly competitive Novices’ Hurdle at Haydock Park in mid-November, with the runner obliging as favourite when winning by over five lengths. Previously to this, there had been an eight-length win when claiming a win in a Maiden Hurdle.

Arctic Bresil is the Irish raider who is something of an unknown quantity, with the six-year-old winning a twenty-two runner race when winning a Maiden Hurdle at Cork Racecourse. Nemean Lion and Colonel Harry come next in the betting, with punters advised to compare the best horse racing odds.
