2022 Supreme Novices' Hurdle: the runners, the odds, the verdict

The Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle (1.30) opens the Cheltenham Festival and this year's contest is as eagerly anticipated as ever. Willie Mullins and Nicky Henderson both dominate the front end of the market – Ireland's champion trainer is represented by Dysart Dynamo, Kilcruit and Bring On The Night, while Henderson has two smart prospects in the line-up in Constitution Hill and Jonbon.
