Jewson Novices Offer

Day Three, Free Bets | Paul Berry | March 17, 2010 at 12:04 pm

Jewson Novices Handicap Chase – Day three of The Festival kicks off with the £80,000 Listed Jewson Novices’ Handicap Chase (1.30pm) for which there are 62 acceptors.

There are no better trainers when it comes to producing Festival winners over fences than Paul Nicholls, Ferdy Murphy and Jonjo O’Neill, and their representatives here could battle out the finish but who will win?

What we can say, is by the time the Jewson Novices’ Chase rolls round, we’ve thrown the 2010 Weatherbys Cheltenham Betting Guide out the window and resorted to the Grand National method of selecting a horse.

This normally constitutes one of three things: a) The eeny, meeny, miny, moe policy b) wherever the dart lands or c) the ‘I like the name and funny colours’ strategy. To clarify, the latter has been employed for the Jewson… although we won’t deny we are huge Shirley Bassey fans. Despite our random decision, Colin Tizzard’s Hey Big Spender looks to have the form in the book to hold the opposition on his return to Prestbury Park.
