Punters A-Maze Bookies With Huge Gamble

Published at

Asian Maze, trained by Tom Mullins, was the subject of a huge gamble for the Smurfit Champion Hurdle following news that she is likely to run in Tuesday's Showpiece. Generally available at 50/1, yesterday, the seven year old now trades at just 12-1 while Brave Inca still heads the market at 15-8.

On a day that saw many market movers, Ouste was an eye-catching positive and is now rated the 9-1 joint favourite (from 16) for the Fred Winter Juvenile Novice's Hurdle. Francois Doumen's young novice was well beaten on his debut outing by Detroit City who, for good measure, was supported for the JCB Triumph Hurdle and is now the 9-2 second favourite (from 5).
