Jewson Novices’ Handicap Chase – Analysis
The Jewson Novices’ Handicap Chase, the first race on the third day of The Festival, Thursday, March 18, has
attracted a high-class entry of 90, including 20 Irish-trained horses.
After saddling Chapoturgeon to victory last year, Paul Nicholls may bid to become the first trainer to win the Jewson Novices’ Handicap Chase for a second time with Take The Breeze, who was successful on his first three starts over fences and took third in the Grade One Arkle Novice Chase at Leopardatown in January. A quartet of entries from the champion trainer also includes the consistent Fistral Beach, Newbury scorer Rivaliste and Five Dream, who took fourth behind the Colin Tizzard-trained Hey Big Spender in the Timeform Novices’ Handicap Chase at Cheltenham on Festival Trials Day.
David Pipe has also entered four horses headed by Seven Is My Number, successful over Pigeon Island in the Grade Two Dipper Novices’ Chase at Cheltenham’s New Year’s Day fixture. The Pond House handler may also be represented by Warwick scorer Leo’s Lucky Star, Salut Flo and Great Endeavour, while Venetia Williams is also responsible for four entries including Green Belt Elite, who has been successful on three of his four chasing starts.
Nicky Henderson’s embarrassment of riches in the novice chase department has seen him enter nine horses. Carole’s Legacy is unbeaten in three starts over fences, while Dave’s Dream and The Polomoche both made winning starts to their chasing careers.
Jonjo O’Neill has entered Listed Summer Plate Handicap Chase scorer Nostringsattached and Sunnyhillboy, a Listed winner over hurdles who comfortably landed a Ludlow novices’ chase on his latest appearance. Other leading entries include the Nick Gifford-trained Nomecheki, dual chase victor The Hollinwell, whose trainer Ferdy Murphy sent out L’Antartique to victory in this race in 2007, and Fiendish Flame, who has made the frame on all four of his chase starts for Donald McCain Jnr.
A strong Irish challenge includes the Noel Meade-trained pair of top-class hurdler Jered and Nicanor, who defeated Denman in the 2006 Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle. Willie Mullins has entered recent Clonmel scorer The Midnight Club and Grade Two runner-up Apt Approach, while Paul Nolan may be represented bythe progressive Clan Tara.
Tally Em Up, who has taken Grade Three novice chases on his two latest starts, could line up for Philip Rothwell, while a trio of entries from the stable of Dessie Hughes includes Lenabane, who was fourth in both the Grade One Knight Frank Novice Chase and the Grade One Dr P J Moriarty Chase. Mouse Morris has given an entry to China Rock, who took fourth in last year’s Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle.

I see Kimberlite King is entered. That must be why Cantoris was at that cloud seeding seminar and working towards his pilot's licence.

Will I have to pay Michael O'Leary €30 to put the body bag in the hold if we go!! Not mine nor Colm's decision to enter.
 
Will Sunnyhillboy get into this? On a very low weight, and looks to have been laid out for the Jewson.
 
"Sunnyhill Boy go well ew in the Jewson"

Frank Berry quote from Preview night in Monaghan on other thread.
 
Yes, there would be a certain irony were he to be kept out of the race by a horse that has been campaigned to be at it's peak in every race contested rather than with an eye to the Festival.
 
Would agree with that Gal - always thought that the 4 miler would be his aim, seems to run better on better ground.

Was worried for him as he seemed to make a mistake at the top of the hill though it clearly didn't cost him as much as I thought it did at the time.
