Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle Betting Odds

All eyes are on the Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle on Sunday, with Punchestown Racecourse hosting an encounter which has Grade 2 status. There's going to be quite an encounter at the Irish track, with Willie Mullins training the potential winner in the form of Sober. The seven-year-old looked smart on a debut but is still relatively unproven.

Sons And Lovers has plenty of experience on the racecourse and the five-year-old should be able to perform well for Joseph O'Brien, with Free Spirit having enjoyed that winning feeling recently. Gordon Elliott also has a couple of smart performers in the form of Theflyingking and Road Exile, with both horses enjoying lots of good form.

2026 Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle Betting Tips

There are nine horses expected to line up in the Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle and the majority of the field have a reasonable chance of landing a success. Sober is the market leader and the Willie Mullins-trained runner was able to win at the Royal Ascot meeting in June. In the Queen Alexandra Stakes, the 4/5 favourite won over two miles, five and a half furlongs.

Sons And Lovers is a younger adversary who has the scope to run well for Joseph O'Brien. The five-year-old has not had an outing since September when a third-placed effort was managed at Leopardstown. That was in the Group 3 Group Stakes where the 11/1 poke ran well over one mile and four furlongs on yielding ground.

Free Spirit is another horse that could potentially give Willie Mullins a victory. There's not a great deal of form upon which to feed, with the horse having impressed at Auteuil in October 2024 when finishing second in a big field. Theflyingking has more form upon which to feed and the Gordon Elliott-trained charge was second out of seven horses at Navan.

That came after a fall at Down Royal at the end of October, with Road Exile another Elliott runner who has to be taken into consideration. The six-year-old was impressive when scoring at Navan in early December, with the victory coming over two miles where twenty-five other horses were seen off. That was after a decent showing at Down Royal in early November.

2025 Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle Tips

Willie Mullins has a strong hand when it comes to the Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle, including favourite Salvator Mundi. The five-year-old produced a fine performance to triumph at Tipperary in the middle of May and the victory was achieved by an astonishing sixty-two lengths. Previously to this came a sixth-placed finish in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham.

However, there could be plenty more to come from Kel Histoire, with Mullins having seen his charge record successive wins in a short career to date. There was a victory in France in November 2023 and that was followed by a success in Cork last month. In the Mallow Maiden Hurdle, the horse was able to oblige as the 4/5 favourite.

Sporting Glory has plenty of experience and the Gordon Elliott-trained runner was able to score last time out. The nine-year-old obliged at Galway towards the end of October when achieving a six-length victory when fending off thirteen other horses. Previously to that, there had been three successive races at Fairyhouse including a victory.

Sky Lord and Ballygunner Castle are also trading at single figure prices. The former was a winner for Henry de Bromhead last time out, with the six-year-old beating nineteen other runners in a competitive maiden hurdle. The latter was able to oblige with two wins this term and is another Mullins-trained runner with the potential to go well.
