2024 Future Champions Novice Hurdle Betting Odds at Leopardstown racecourse

Friday, 27 December 2024

There are several horses trading at single figure betting odds when it comes to the Paddy Power Future Champions Novice Hurdle, with Salvator Mundi the horse most likely to go off as favourite. This is one of several Willie Mullins-trained runners and there could be more to come from Irancy and Redemption Day.

However, Gordon Elliott always has lively contenders when it comes to races such as this one, with Bleu De Vassy having landed consecutive successes this season. The five-year-old has decent claims and there’s plenty to like about Romeo Coolio who hasn’t been out of the first two this season after some promising performances in the previous campaign.

There could be a big field lining up in the Paddy Power Future Champions Novice Hurdle, with this Grade 1 encounter taking place at Leopardstown over two miles. Salvator Mundi is one of the younger runners in the field, although there was a success for the four-year-old at Tipperary back in May and he’s been installed as favourite here.

Bleu De Vassy has been successful on two occasions this season, with Gordon Elliott saddling a five-year-old who scored at Navan in mid-November. That was a five length success in a Grade Three encounter, with this coming after a success at Clonmel whoch means that the talented runner is aiming for a fourth win on the bounce.

Irancy is another Willie Mullins-trained runner and the six-year-old was successful last time out, with the horse beating seventeen other rivals at Punchestown. The 10/11 favourite was able to oblige by nine lengths, with the horse previously performing really well in a Maiden Hurdle when being sent off at big odds of 20/1.

Romeo Coolio could be an each-way bet worth having, with Gordon Elliott training a runner who has impressed this season. The five-year-old was first and second in the two outings this season, with a victory coming in a big field at the beginning of November. That came before a second-placed finish where the horse was beaten as the 1/2 favourite.

Down Memory Lane has racked up a succession of wins and there could be more to come from the five-year-old when he lines up at Leopardstown Racecourse. There was an impressive triumph at Down Royal in November, with the horse fending off eighteen rivals, with the Gordon Elliott-trained charge able to secure a three length victory on that occasion.

Willie Mullins has Daddy Long Legs and the four-year-old was able to score at Thurles at the end of November, with the horse claiming a thirteen-length win as the 11/8 favourite and there could be more to come from a runner who is slightly shorter in the betting than Firefox, with the latter another Elliott horse who has to have solid each-way claims.

It’s For Me runs for Mullins and the five-year-old was able to score against a big field of runners at Punchestown Racecourse, with the horse obliging as the 8/13 favourite when winning a Maiden Hurdle in the middle of November. Ballyburn comes from the same stable and was able to finish runner-up at Fairyhouse when second to Firefox.

Farren Glory was able to record back to back victories, with the six-year-old landing a win at Clonmel in early November before obliging in a more competitive tussle at Fairyhouse in early December. Ile Atlantique and Mirazur West are yet more horses from the Mullins stable and we’re expecting this trainer to have a strong hand for the race.
