Zaidpour has been well-supported for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle this afternoon which suggests that Willie Mullins’ gelding could be heading for the first race at Cheltenham Festival rather than take up other engagements at the Festival.

The five-year-old is now 8/1 (from 10/1) with totesport for the two-mile event which puts him fourth in the market behind the 9/4 favourite Cue Card.
‘Zaidpour has always been highly regarded by the Mullins stable and recent support suggests he will be heading for the Supreme Novices’ rather than the Neptune,’ said totesport spokesman George Primarolo.
There has also been money for Great Endeavour in the Stewart Family Spinal Research Handicap Chase on the first day and last year’s Byrne Group Plate winner is now 8/1 (from 10/1) with totesport.
