1X Bet puts you in control. 18 plus only. Please gamble responsibly. And now here's your host. Emmett Kennedy. Ahead of the greatest show on turf in day one at the Cheltenham Festival. We've got Adam Mills, George Gorman, Andy Newton, and Peter Michael, as we give you our best bets. We'll begin with the curtain razor, the Supreme Novice hurdle. All Parkstar is now the 11 to 4 favourite with one-ex bet in Ireland. Who is going to win in your opinion, Adam Mills? I think old Bugstar is the most likely winner. If he drifts to the point where he's no longer favourite, I'd probably have to go in again, but I'm not at the momentary place. I'm going to sit with that. The hurdle moving is a little bit of a concern. I just think that gives Talk-Tor-Torke more I think talk to Talk might make the odd mistake. I think he might be outpaced slightly and then he'll run on again. So it kind of half worries me, but I just look at through this and I watch the replays back. Old Park star is the best also. I just think he's achieved enough to make me think he might be a bit of a start. I don't think there's any value further down. I think the top three or four in the market, the class horses. But old park star looks the safest bet of all that. George Gorman, how do you see it? I talked up Alkyroch massively last year for the bumper. He maybe didn't quite get up the hill last year, but I think he's

2:18.4

a year old, he's year stronger, the same comment supply this year. He's got a freakish engine. I think the last hurdle, potentially, like if he's going to do what he did in his last two starts, which I don't think he will, the last hurdle being further from the winning line can only help him, surely. He's free fish.

2:35.0

The first time I think he was unlucky.

2:36.8

He tripped after the hurdle.

2:37.9

He nearly kept himself upright.

2:39.7

The second time Jack Kennedy held his hands up afterwards, but anyone could see.

2:44.1

He tried to commit the horse the hurdle and realised that the last second, the stride seemed, was too long.

2:49.3

So he changed his mind

2:51.1

halfway through halfway to the hurdle I always didn't know what to do and they did well save

2:56.1

himself I can't see a recurrence that here if old park star's better than that's fine but I

3:01.0

knowing what I know about this source I can't leave him go at seven to one okay and of course you

3:04.9

were telling us a year ago this this was an absolute speed merchant.

3:10.3

Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy saying the exact same thing since he switched from the moory yard.

3:24.2

Andy Newton, your selection for the Supreme? It has been the sort of Mullins Hendo show this. They won nine at the last 13 between them. And, you know, they got the first two in the market here. I'll pass down. Mighty Park. Mighty Parks only run once as a bit of a hype horse, you know, bolted up.

3:24.4

But, you know, all of the last six winners of the Supreme had run more than once, I think, over hurdles. So that would be against Mighty Park. Like I say, I talk a talk, we'll love the hill. Elkhara's not sure about jumping. So I'm with you, Emmett, and Adam, I think, old Park Star, best form there. You know, it's visually impressive against Hurricane Pat last time out.
