The big ante-post market movers this weekend - including a Supreme and Turners contender for Nicky Henderson

It wasn't the biggest meeting of Cheltenham's season, but there were still some performances which have shaken up some ante-post markets . . .

Novice hurdlers

This was the division that was most affected by the two days at Cheltenham, as contenders for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle and Triumph Hurdle emerged.

On the opening day, Nicky Henderson unleashed a smart prospect when Old Park Star brushed aside his rivals in the 2m1f novice hurdle. 

Coral were so impressed they made him 8-1 second-favourite for the Supreme, while Paddy Power introduced him at 20-1. Ladbrokes went 12-1, while he is 14-1 with them for the Turners Novices' Hurdle.

Minella Study emerged as a flagbearer for Adam Nicol following his win in the JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial and is 16-1 with Coral for the festival race in March.

Novice chasers

There was not much movement on this front, although Sixmilebridge emerged as a Brown Advisory Novices' Chase contender for Fergal O'Brien.

A classy novice hurdler, the six-year-old easily saw off Califet En Vol by 13 lengths in Friday's 2m4½f novice chase, which was won last year by Arkle hero and leading King George VI Chase fancy Jango Baie.

Paddy Power were impressed by the performance and cut him to 20-1 (from 66) for the Brown Advisory. 

Hurdlers

There was minimal movement in the Champion Hurdle market, but a live Dan Skelton-trained County Hurdle contender emerged in Fortune De Mer.

He looked to have plenty in hand when winning the 2m1f handicap hurdle under Harry Skelton and was cut to 12-1 (from 20) for the festival prize.

The five-year-old was left at 40-1 for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle too, should connections fancy a crack at the highest level.
