2024 Ascot Hurdle Betting Odds at Ascot racecourse

Saturday, 23 November 2024

The 2024 Ascot Hurdle is a prestigious horse race taking place at Ascot Racecourse on Saturday, with the runners and riders battling it out over two miles, three and a half furlongs. There are six horses lining up, with Golden Ace having enjoyed a string of victories last season and perhaps she can continue this winning streak.

There are some stiff competitors who are also lining up, with Blueking D’oroux having the potential to impress and the Paul Nicholls-trained runner producing some spirited performances last term. Thunder Rock is an older adversary who has the ability to run well, with Lucky Place and Salver also having lively chances.

2024 Ascot Hurdle Tips

Golden Ace was able to land a victory on a consecutive basis last season, with the horse having racked up four straight victories last term. Jeremy Scott trains a runner who was last seen winning at Cheltenham in April, with the odds-on favourite landing a huge victory after previously scoring at the Cheltenham Festival.

That latter triumph came in the Ryanair Mares’ Novices Hurdle, with the 10/1 shot obliging over two miles and one furlong, with the horse in receipt of the mares’ allowance when it comes to this race. However, Blueking D’oroux is a five-year-old who could certainly be in the shake-up and we’re intrigued to see how this runner performs.

The five-year-old was last seen running well when finishing fourth out of eight runners in a Grade 2 Hurdle at Sandown Park at the end of April, with the 16/1 shot finishing less than ten lengths behind favourite Impaire Et Passe. The horse landed a notable victory when succeeding in the Grade 2 Coral Hurdle at Ascot and a repeat could be on the cards.

Thunder Rock can’t be discounted from proceedings, with the eight-year-old having been pulled up when running against Gerri Colombe at Aintree, with the horse struggling to handle the pace on that occasion. There was previously a win in the bet365 Premier Chase when the 9/4 favourite was able to triumph by seven lengths.
