Here's what Keith said ahead of the 2021 Supreme Novices Chase
APRECIATE IT – Ante post favourite from 6 times winning trainer Willie Mullins, runner up in last year's Champion Bumper and Grade 1 winner over hurdles.
METIER – Harry Fry trained ex-flat horse who is 3/3 over hurdles cumilating in the Tolworth Hurdle in January.
ZANAHIYR – Unbeaten over hurdles since joining the powerful Gordon Elliott yard enjoying easy wins in Graded races last twice.
BALLYADAM – Another Gordon Elliot inmate Grade 1 winner at Fairyhouse in December before having his colours lowered by appreciate last time.
What’s Our Supreme Novices Hurdle Tips for 2021?
Early days yet with still 6 weeks to go before the big day. APPRECIATE IT is sure to be popular but at 7 years old is older than ideal, BALLYADAM is held by APPRECIATE IT on their Leopardstown race. ZANAHIYA is too young at just 4 and the Triumph Hurdle is a more likely target. That leaves us with the leading English fancy METIER who ticks almost every box and is getting better with every race.
Keith's early tip for the Supreme Novices Hurdle is METIER 7/1
Here's what Keith tipped for our members on the day:
METIER 13:20 Cheltenham 6/1 – Unbeaten over hurdles, APRECIATE will be a very popular favourite, but, in my opinion and the stats back it up, he is too old at 7 for this race. METIER, who landed the Tolworth hurdle in some style back in January is still progressing and also unbeaten.
How did it do?
METIER– not the strongest of starts for our tips, Metier chased leaders, outpaced after 3 out, well beaten from next, eased before last to finish in 7th place.

Keith Bond is our resident pro tipster here at FRT Towers. Keith lives and breathes horse racing, having begun his love of horse racing over 40 years ago with a part time job at Catterick Racecourse, as one of three fourteen year-olds looking after two jumps and a hurdle.
Over the years, Keith has been a regular at the northern tracks attending countless race meetings and building up a network of contacts, and a portfolio of systems and strategies.
He was one of the co-founders of Free Racing Tips all the way back in 2008, and his free tips are now backed by more than seventy thousand FRT members every single day.
“Thanks Keith – It’s great to be part of an amazing group of people all after the same thing, passing on tips to beat the bookies”
Colin Parkinson, Harrow.
The FRT community love Keith’s attention to detail, knowledge of past races, and ability to pick horses...
“You offer some great tips, some fantastic outsiders tipped up as well. Most tipsters just put up favourites. Well done and keep up the good work”
John Woolley, Stockport
