Mares' Novices' Hurdle trends
Not one favourite has won this in the last five years, and the prices have ranged from 15/2 up to White Noise at 40/1 in 2026. For a race with a small, supposedly exposed field, that is a remarkable record.
It has also been a fine pointer to the future. Golden Ace won it in 2024 and took the Champion Hurdle the following year, and Air Of Entitlement won in 2025 before landing the 2026 Martin Pipe. Anyone looking for next season's improvers could do worse than start with the placed horses here.
Mares' Novices' Hurdle winners on file: White Noise, Air Of Entitlement, Golden Ace, You Wear It Well, Love Envoi. The market has been a poor guide here, with only 0 of the last 5 winners going off favourite. The biggest-priced winner in that time was White Noise at 40/1 in 2026.
