Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase Betting News

Final Demand suffered a shock defeat at the Dublin Racing Festival, but the Willie Mullins-trained star is still well fancied in the latest Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase odds. Romeo Coolio will step up to three miles for the first time for Gordon Elliott and the Irish Arkle winner is a cracking addition to the race. The Big Westerner could be a leading contender and is another prominent figure in the betting, whilst Kaid D’Authie, who beat Final Demand, could head to this event. Wendigo is a leading fancy for the British and Jamie Snowden’s charge has to be well fancied in what will be an energy-sapping contest.

Betting on the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase

The Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase is a Grade 1 race for the top staying novices in Britain and Ireland and has been won by some of the biggest names in National Hunt racing. It can sometimes be a race that has few runners lining up, so it’s not necessarily the best betting race for each-way punters, but the 2026 renewal looks extremely wide open.
