Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle: Cheltenham Festival 2021 Preview and Tips

Exclusive preview and tips for the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival brought to you by the team at Star Sports. Run over 2m5f, the day 2 opener has a long and illustrious record of producing future festival Champions over both hurdles and fences, in victory as well as defeat.

This year’s renewal has the looks of a top-quality contest, with Grade 1 winners GAILLARD DU MESNIL, BOB OLINGER and BRAVEMANSGAME at the top of the market. The unbeaten BEAR GHYLLS and DREAL DEAL could be lively outsiders.
