2m1f (2m179y) (New) Ryanair Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle (Grade 2) (Registered As The Dawn Run Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle) (GBB) (Class 1) (4yo+)
24 runners makes this really tough. You have to be brave to take a short price about Sixandahalf and I suspect each-way is the best way to play here. AIR OF ENTITLEMENT is a curiously big price at 18/1 after cruising round on the bridle on her only hurdles start. That form’s had a few boosts over the season and I like that it was over 2m4f because this can only be run at a crazy galop with this many runners and the winner will need to stay really well. She was notably slick over her hurdles and travelled really well, which will suit this type of race and I suspect she’ll give herself the best chance of finishing in the places. There were concerns about the de Bromhead yard form on Tuesday but Ballyadam and Quilixios ran blinders on Wednesday to rubbish that.
1pt each-way Air Of Entitlement @16/1, 13:20 Cheltenham Festival, Thursday (1-5, 1/5)
