Jewson Novices Chase Analysis

A Championship Novice Chase at two and half miles seems to muddy 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 has this race as its target could ensure a healthy ante-post position as many of the current favourites could well be heading to other races at the Festival. 2011 winner Noble Prince was removed from the Arkle betting fairly early on last year and this race was always the plan for Paul Nolan. Look out for similar comments for your fancy for 2012.
