Novice Chasers 2027

Matata is a bit of e/w value for me. Seems as though he has been about for a long while but still only an 8yo. Won off 1lb lower last year. Comes into the category of a few in the UK that seem best carrying weight in handicaps as opposed to running in level weight graded races.

Ran well considering he didn’t jump well and pulled a fair bit early on
Winner is pretty good!!
 
I think that the novice chase scene is very unclear at present. Contradicting comments on stable tours and entries based on fitness and ground rather than distance all over the place for me
