Irish raider Steps To Freedom is William Hill’s 8/1 favourite for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle after initial entires were revealed.
In a very wide open event, Captain Conan, of Nicky Henderson, is next at 10/1 alongside Pearl Swan.
The Donald McCain-trained Cinders And Ashes and JP McManus-owned Darlan are available at 12-1, with numerous potential contenders, including fellow Nicholls inmate Dildar and the Willie Mullins-trained Midnight Game, quoted at 14-1 thereafter.
William Hill spokeswoman Lucy Rhodes said “The 2012 William Hill Supreme Novices’ Hurdle may prove be one of the most wide-open seen for decades, but there are still a number of key trials remaining which could see this year’s Cue Card or Dunguib suddenly spring to prominence”
