Min out to prove supreme in opener at Cheltenham

Min will have to live up to the hype if he is to give trainer Willie Mullins the winning start punters are confidently predicting in the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham today.

Mullins has won the last three runnings of the four-day Festival’s opening event with Champagne Fever, Vautour and Douvan. Min is a short-priced favourite to continue the sequence.

The five-year-old is unbeaten in two starts at Punchestown since joining the Closutton team from Yannick Fouin in France.
