Cheltenham Festival 2023: Triumph Hurdle tips - Lossiemouth heads strong Mullins hand
Stolen Silver (centre)
We’re 21 races down with just seven to go as the Cheltenham Festival literally races by. Day four begins with the Triumph Hurdle, which offers us some opportunities at both ends of the betting market.
The JCB Triumph Hurdle dates back to the 1950s and is unusually a briskly-run affair made up as it is of juvenile hurdlers with just eight obstacles to contend with over two miles and a furlong.
Willie Mullins holds a strong hand in this day four opener, with the top three in the betting market all trained by the master of Closutton.
Lossiemouth is the favourite at the time of writing, and with leading jockey Paul Townend on board he should have too much for stablemates Blood Destiny and Gala Marceau.
If any of those top three falter, then there is plenty of each way value elsewhere, and Jupiter Du Gite might be an interesting outsider if he can replicate the form that caused a 66/1 upset on his hurdle debut at Newbury in December.
