Guide to Jewson Novices Cheltenham Festival

Noble Prince has been an excellent recruit to the chasing scene this campaign and Paul Nolan's seven-year-old is 10/1 favourite with Coral for the Jewson Novices' Chase. A short-head loser behind the improving Realt Dubh at Leopardstown has fired this son of Montjeu into a mighty challenger for this contest.

He had been beaten by Realt Dubh by five lengths earlier in the season but narrowed the gap next time up and showed signs of improvement in his jumping and definitely is a worthy market leader.

Wishfull Thinking is another notable improver in recent months and is the other joint 10/1 favourite. An emphatic win round Cheltenham has propelled him to the RSA reckoning and that may be the route Philip Hobbs takes so be aware of that and it may be one to avoid for this contest.

Medermit (12/ Coral), Hells Bay (14/1 Stan James) and Reve De Sivola (20/1 Totesport) all look like they have bigger races in mind and could be another trio of contenders to avoid.

Rebel De Maquis (20/1 888Sport) was a tearaway winner early in the season at Cheltenham but disappointed when finishing seven-and-a-quarter lengths behind Reve De Sivola in December.

Jockey Harry Skelton set a ferocious gallop that day and the Paul Nicholls-trained six-year-old struggled to get home and so it may be a false form line. He is definitely worth another chance as he showed earlier in the season his jumping ability and the 20/1 looks to big to miss.
