Centenary Novices Chase Trends
We will use the old Jewson Chase trends but we should remain aware that the new race will now be raced on a different part of the Cheltenham course and as such is over a slightly shorter distance of 2 and a half miles as opposed to 2m 5f.
6/6 carried a weight of 11-0 or under 6/6 finished in the top four on all their completed starts over fences 6/6 were officially rated 123-139 6/6 were aged five to eight 6/6 finished either first or second on their last outing 6/6 had won only once over fences
At a glance summary
* Respect * Not won on either of first two chase starts * Officially rated close to 133-135 * Pattern-race experience * Ran in a Festival novice hurdle last season * Trained by Jonjo O’Neill and Nicky Henderson
* Oppose * More than one chase victory * Failed to finish in the first two last time out

Struggled with this one here... My head said stright away Bensalem. Then i take a further look and can make cases for a few more...
Blazing Bailey i think has a lot more to come, but can he do it here when it matters... Sunnyhillboy. Well other than its a Jonjo horse and with AP on board is again hard to go against...
Others that may pop up could be Reve de Sivola, Great Endeavour...
But i am sticking with my selection of Bensalem...

Yes you can ignore the above post for this one here folks... My mistake... Sorry..
Selected Swing Bill here... Has come on for the Pipe yard and ran well last time out, 3rd to Fine Parchment, and won the prvious with something to spare. Again its a tricky one to predict here but he has gradually improved for each run it has...
