Verdict
Ballyburn’s been nothing short of brilliant for the WP Mullins team since debuting at Punchestown in February 2023 and comes into this race as a very worthy favourite.

Form
The 6-year-old Tullyhill is another member of the Mullins stable at the top of the betting market for this race. Tullyhill has a career record of 3 victories, and 2 runner-up finishes from 5 outings on the track.
The horse last ran at Punchestown earlier this month over the 2-mile trip the horse beat 7 other horses including the closest challenger No Flies On Him by a convincing 7

Another fast and consistent member of the Mullins stables and so is naturally not without a chance.

Form
Another horse at the top of the betting market is another member of the Mullins stables this time the 5-year-old Mystical Power. This horse has an unbeaten career record of 3 victories from 3 races.
The horse last ran in the middle of last month at Punchestown winning in the small field of 4 horses coming 7 lengths clear of runner-up Jigoro to continue the horse’s unbeaten record for JP McManus.
Verdict
Less experienced than the others at the top of the market, but it would be foolish to rule out the Mullins, McManus duo for success.
Firefox
Odds
The fourth favourite to win the 2024 Supreme Novices Hurdle is Firefox at odds of 7/1. Those odds suggest that Jonbon has a 12.5% chance of winning this race.
Pedigree

Rules Races | 7 | 4 | 1 | 0 |
Form
The 6-year-old Firefox is trained by Gordon Elliot and the horse currently can boast a career record of 4 victories and 1 runner-up finish from 7 outings on track since making its debut at Navan in November 2022.
Last month at Naas the horse finished a disappointing 4 th from a field of 7 coming 8 and ¾ lengths back of winner Readin Tommy Wrong. This defeat ended the Horse 4 race-winning run.
Verdict
The horse’s last outing doesn’t inspire confidence but if Elliot can bring the horse back to its best, the horse should have solid claims for success.
Jeriko Du Reponet
Odds
The fifth favourite to win the 2024 Supreme Novices Hurdle is Jeriko Du Reponet odds of 8/1. Those odds suggest that Jonbon has an 11.1% chance of winning this race.

Rules Races | 3 | 3 | 1 | 0 |
Form
The 5-year-old Auriigny Mill is another at the top of the betting market this time trained by Nicky Henderson. The horse currently has an unbeaten record of 3 wins from 3 races.
The horse recently won at Doncaster at the end of last month over the 2-mile and a ½ distance coming 1 and ¼ lengths ahead of runner-up Lump Sum.
Verdict
One to keep in the notebook, but not known enough to justify shorter odds.
