Oddschecker Sefton Novices Hurdle Tips
20 of the previous 24 winners had won at least twice over hurdles and 18 of the previous 29 winners were aged between six and seven which is only really a negative for both of the five-year-olds Moon Rocket and Honesty Policy.
Seven of the previous 18 winners had run in the Albert Bartlett which is a positive for Jet Blue but 14 of the previous 24 winners skipped the Cheltenham Festival prior to this which is a positive for many of these.
Three of the previous 10 winners were trained by Nicky Henderson who has Califet En Vol towards the top of the market and two of the previous four winners were trained by Lucinda Russell including Ahoy Senor in 2021 at odds of 66/1. She has two at big prices entered in the shape of Jupiter Des Mottes and King Of Answers.
