2025 Dovecote Novices Hurdle Betting Odds at Kempton Park racecourse

Saturday, 22 February 2025

There are going to be racing odds boosts for the Ladbrokes Dovecote Novices' Hurdle on Saturday, with no less than six horses trading at single figure odds to win this two-mile encounter. Miami Magic runs for Stuart Edmunds and there’s been money for the six-year-old although this is definitely a race that will take some winning.

Tripoli Flyer runs for Fergal O’Brien and the six-year-old has registered back to back successes which suggests a bold run is on the cards here. Celtic Dino has been able to land two wins this term before a fourth-placed finish in the previous showing, while Starcrossed Lover could represent decent each-way value.

2025 Dovecote Novices' Hurdle Tips

Miami Magic has been producing some star performances this season and he could be the one to beat in the Ladbrokes Dovecote Novices' Hurdle. The six-year-old was last seen running at Aintree on Boxing Day, with a solid display in the Formby Novices’ Hurdle when finishing two lengths behind even money favourite Potters Charm.

That came after a success at Kempton Park when registering a twelve-length success in a novices’ hurdle, with Stuart Edmunds saddling a quality runner although Tripoli Flyer has similar credentials and some would argue he’s a better value price. Fergal O’Brien saw his horse secure a victory in a race at Musselburgh after winning at Market Rasen in November.

Celtic Dino runs for Sam Thomas and the six-year-old has been backed in the past few days, with the horse featuring in that Boxing Day encounter at Aintree when finishing fourth and eleven and a half lengths off the pace. That came after a success at Ascot and there was also a comprehensive triumph at Wincanton, with the horse worthy of each-way consideration.

Starcrossed Lover could be the one to back and we’re surprised that the horse racing betting sites offer such a big price when it comes to this runner. The latest effort was a seventeen-length success at Hereford in mid-January, with this coming after a win at Windsor in December. Although further improvement is needed for a win, this horse looks capable.
