Klub De Reve Wins Dovecote — But History Says Steady On

Klub De Reve put in a tidy performance to win Saturday’s Dovecote Novices’ Hurdle at Kempton, beating Kocktail Bleu by three lengths with the well-backed Mustang Du Breuil back in third. Harry Derham’s horse has improved with every run this season and the step up to Grade 2 level didn’t faze him at all.

Bookmakers trimmed him into around 12/1 for the Supreme. On Racing Post comments, he’s already being talked up as a live outsider. And look, he might be. But before anyone gets carried away, we pulled the Dovecote form since 2012 and the Festival record of its winners is, well, not great.
