13:30 Cheltenham
Ballyburn Silk 1
  • Age:6
  • Weight:11-7
  • Form:111-211
  • OR:157
Day two of the 2024 Cheltenham Festival kicks off with the 2M 5F Gallagher Novices’ Hurdle which has attracted a rather disappointing turnout of eight of which five are trained by Irish maestro Willie Mullins. His number one here is the six year old Ballyburn who will be hard to beat. He oozed class when winning at the Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown in February clocking a very fast time. Paul Townend was on board that day and has picked him here ahead of his stable mates and although he’s a skinny price will be very tough to beat if in the same mood. Mullins’ Ile Atlantique is maybe the one to chase him home but it may well be the case of Ballyburn coming home clear of his field. The home team only have three chances with The Grey Man a total no hoper and both Ben Pauling’s Handstands and Nicky Henderson’s Jingko Blue having a mountain to climb on form with the favourite. Stablemate El Fabiolo looks a similarly good thing later so maybe a win double is the bet.

Baring Bingham Novices’ Hurdle Overview

The Baring Bingham Novices’ Hurdle is a Grade One hurdle for novices aged four years or older and is run over 2 miles and 5 furlongs on the old course. There are ten hurdles to be negotiated with the likely prize money to the winner around £76,000.

Along with the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle on the Tuesday and the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle on the Friday, it is one of the three races open to novices only at the meeting. The leading performers will likely go forward to the Aintree and Punchestown Festivals to renew rivalry.

Baring Bingham Novices’ Hurdle Betting Trends and Statistics

Irish trainer Willie Mullins has the best record in the race with six victories over the years (all coming in the last fifteen years) whilst not surprisingly the now-retired Ruby Walsh is the leading jockey with four wins.

The winner is likely to be seen back the following year as a novice chaser in either the Turners Novices’ Chase or the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase over a longer trip although there have been occasions when the winner stays hurdling and contests the Champion Hurdle.

Baring Bingham Novices’ Hurdle History

First run in 1971, it was originally called the Alsworth Hurdle. Insurance company Sun Alliance took over sponsorship in 1974 and the race was known as the Sun Alliance Novices’ Hurdle for the following 36 years.

The race has been sponsored by Baring Bingham Properties for the last five years (for the second time as they also sponsored the race between 2007-2009).

Some of the noteworthy winners of the race include Simonsig (2012), Faugheen (2014), Samcro (2014), Envoi Allen (2020) and last year’s winner Impaire Et Passe.
