National Hunt Chase Cup Betting Odds - 4:50pm Cheltenham

The sixth race on the opening day of the Cheltenham Festival is the National Hunt Chase. Something a bit different, a race over the marathon trip of 4 miles and all jockeys are amateur riders. To make things even more interesting, all the horses are young novice chasers! It’s a recipe for a shock result and the race generally hasn’t disappointed with only three favourites winning in the last 21 years. We're amazed it’s not sponsored by a bookmaker!

It goes without saying that the key here is stamina, but the problem is that not many, if any, would have raced this far in their short careers so we are looking for those that have been staying on strongly over shorter trips and that can jump well.
