Tommy Lyons: Shaneshill the value option in Supreme Novices’ Hurdle

Tommy Lyons: Shaneshill the value option in Supreme Novices’ Hurdle

The latter has looked a real class act in two runs over hurdles to date, and could prove a cut above his rivals, but offers below 2-1 look a shade skinny.

Shaneshill, however, ran very well at this track last year, when runner-up in the bumper, and reversed form with the winner when they met at Punchestown. Although he was beaten last time, and comes here off a break, he was most impressive on his hurdling debut and can be forgiven his that defeat by No More Heroes. With so much potential, he could be real value at 12-1.
