Cheltenham Neptune Investment Hurdle
Neptune Investment Hurdle betting verdict
Both Boston Bob and Simonsig are proving hard to split in the Neptune Novices’ ante-post market providing they both contest it. Willie Mullins’ hurdler is also entered in the Albert Bartlett Novices, while connections of Simonsig, who won comfortably at Kelso in his prep race, could target the Supreme Novices. Monksland is another who features prominently in the market along with Sous Les Cieux for this renewal.Get a free £25 bet with William Hill.
Neptune Hurdle Recent Records
Since the turn of the millennium, this hasn’t been a race favourites have done well in. Only two market leaders, Monsignor in 2000 and Mikael Dhaguenet two years ago have justified favouritism and each way value might just prevail again this year. The two mile five furlong distance is a tricky one in the sense that many trainers are still learning the preferred trip of these novices. Willie Mullins does however seem to have hit the nail on the head with regards this distance – the Irish trainer took this race in consecutive years in 2008 and 2009. So keep a look out for his representative(s) in this as it would come as no surprise to see his horse(s) be there or thereabouts.

It was a little worrying that Sous Les Cieux couldn’t quite reach a shock winner in a Grade 1Novices’ Hurdle at Leopardstown in February. Willie Mullins’ charge must jump better if he is to figure here, and he’s passed over in favour of SIMONSIG. Nicky Henderson’s six-year-old found only Fingal Bay too good at Sandown two runs back (front pair well clear of third) and he sets the standard on that evidence. Monksland is unbeaten over hurdles in his native Ireland and holds a chance if translating that form to Cheltenham for trainer Noel Meade.
1- Simonsig
2- Sous Les Cieux
3- Monksland
