Jewson Novices Chase Analysis

The introduction of this Championship Novice Chase at two and half miles has muddied the waters even further for ante-post punters but keeping an eye on the comments from the trainers concerned could help to narrow down a shortlist of horses who will have this race as their Festival target.

Finding a horse who definitely be heading to this race could ensure a healthy ante-post position as many of the favourites could end up heading to other races at the Festival. The two winners of this new race were outlined with this race as their target from an early stage in each season.
