Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle 2023 betting

Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle odds are on paddypower.com and prices for the leading contenders can be seen on our snazzy widgets below.

Challow scorer Hermes Allen is the favourite with Paddy Power for the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle but winners of the Newbury race have a poor record in this.

Impaire Et Passe is the next in our early betting following a facile success in the Grade 2 Moscow Flyer at Punchestown.

Gaelic Warrior, second in last year’s Fred Winter, is also prominent in our non runner money back market after recording three impressive victories this season.
