William Hill's Supreme Novice's update
Few will deny that Dunguib was anything other than sensational in the Deloitte Hurdle where the only points to crab were two sloppy jumps in the early stages but they can be put down to him being put to sleep at the back and he jumped well when asked to warm to his task.
In terms of form, he didn't do much different to when beating Some Present by a similar distance for a third time but he had even more of a swagger on this occasion and Philip Fenton has ended all speculation where he runs at the Festival confirming him to this race where he it is odds-on he will start at odds-on.
That awesome performance was probably enough to frighten a few more off rivals to the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle over 2m5f to ease his task further. Grey Soldier, who had previously chased home Rite Of Passage, also won at the weekend which increased his chances of travelling over but, other than that, it was a very quiet week on the Supreme Novices' Hurdle front.
