William Hill Price Boosts "Chasing Excellence" Novices' Chase (GBB Race)

Cheltenham · 16:05 · Saturday, 24 October 2026 · 3m1f · Good To Soft · Class 2

🤖 AI race preview

The pace is expected to be steady with a potential early lead from Derryhassen Paddy, who has shown consistency in soft going and has a strong record of maintaining position under pressure, backed by a solid RPR of 150 and recent form in class-1 conditions. He stands out as the most complete performer, having secured a win at Windsor in soft ground and consistently finishing in the top three despite being outpaced at times, with a recent second at Ayr suggesting he can challenge in the middle to back of the field. Butch Cassidy presents a notable danger with a strong recent win at Killarney in yielding ground and a 164lb weight, though his form in soft conditions is limited. Turndlightsdownlow, with a 29-day run and a 127 OFR, offers a sharp each-way appeal after a consistent second-place finish in good going, while Kasino Des Mottes, despite a poor recent run, remains a value at the forecast price due to his trainer’s form and recent consistency in class-3 races.
