The Cheltenham Festival kicks off in style with the Supreme Novices Hurdle, one of the most hotly contested races of the whole week. The latest Cheltenham Odds suggest that Cue Card will romp home. Paddy Power aren’t so convinced, however, and will refund all losing bets should Cue Card win.

This gives you a great opportunity to back a larger priced horse with the security of getting your money back should the hot favourite Cue Card win.

Our pick for the race is Zaidpour, who hasn’t enjoyed the more testing ground in his last few outings. Cue Card’s form is well exposed, with the horse not reaching the heights many expected after his early season runs and win in last years Champion Bumper.
