Triumph Hurdle Entries 2024 - Which Juvenile Hurdlers Are Bidding for Superstardom?

Former Royal Ascot winner Burdett Road heads a provisional list of 44 entries for the 2024 Grade 1 Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham on Friday, 15th March.

Run over 2m1f on the New Course, the Triumph Hurdle is limited to four-year-olds at the beginning of their National Hunt careers. Future dual Grand National-winning superstar Tiger Roll claimed the race back in 2014.

Burdett Road is one of the strongest British-trained favourites in the ante-post markets for the 2024 Festival. James Owen’s charge has impressed in victories at Huntingdon and in Grade 2 company on the Old Course at Cheltenham back in November.

His main market rival, Sir Gino, is bidding to extend Nicky Henderson’s outstanding record of seven winners in the race. The master of Seven Barrows last won with Pentland Hills in 2019, while his primary charge for this year was an impressive scorer at Kempton during the King George meeting.

The race has gone to Ireland for the last four years and Willie Mullins, who is responsible for three of those winners, is mob-handed in his quest for a fifth success in the race. Chief among his hopes for this year are Bunting, Kargese and Storm Heart as well as Salvator Mundi, who is yet to race for him.

The unbeaten Salver represents a good chance for Gary Moore to avenge Goshen’s final flight fall in the race in 2020, while further intrigue is provided by French import Katakana for Henry De Bromhead.
