Tower new Triumph Hurdle favourite after second wide-margin win for Blackmore

Aspire Tower has now won his two starts over hurdles by a combined total of 31 lengths so it is hardly surprising to see him clear favourite with Ladbrokes for the JCB Triumph Hurdle.

Ladbrokes make him their 6-1 market leader after he demolished his six rivals in the Grade 2 Knight Frank Juvenile Hurdle, with 8-1 now the biggest price about the ex-Steve Gollings-trained juvenile who jumps like an old pro.

"He's very good when you ask him to go about his job. He's a really good jumper and he picked up again off the bend. That was only his second run over hurdles so he's an exciting one for the future," said winning jockey Rachael Blackmore after the first leg of her big 22-1 double which was completed by Notebook.
