The Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase (formerly the RSA Chase) takes place at 2.00pm on the second day of the Cheltenham Festival and is the most prestigious race of the jumps season for staying novice chasers. It is the novices’ equivalent of the Cheltenham Gold Cup and several winners have gone on to triumph in the Gold Cup itself in later years, including most recently Denman, Bobs Worth and Lord Windermere.

WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR - BROWN ADVISORY NOVICES CHASE 2023

down

THE REAL WHACKER took it up another notch to make it 3-3 in course novice chases from the front this season, good jumping a feature again, seeing off his long-time closest pursuer before just holding on from the strong-finishing second. Gerri Colombe was just touched off in second, clear of Bronn in third.
