The National Hunt Chase has kept its marathon identity while changing the terms of the examination. Since 2025 it has been a novice handicap, with professional jockeys allowed. That matters. You cannot take an old shortlist built for a different weight structure and rider restriction and assume it still describes the same opportunity.
Treat the modern race as its own sample
The revised race is a long-distance novice handicap chase on the Old Course. Older renewals remain part of its history, but they are not like-for-like evidence for every modern betting trend. In particular, separate the handicap era when looking at weight, ratings and rider-related patterns.
The announced 2025 structure was a 0–145 novice handicap. Check the published 2027 conditions and qualification requirements when they are available rather than treating an earlier season’s limits as an unchanging rule.

Sample notes and interpretation
- R / W = runs / wins before the Festival race. A dash is a missing or unreported value, not zero. Price suffixes: F = favourite, JF = joint favourite, CF = co-favourite, 2F / 3F = second / third favourite.
- The favourite-position column records the listed result of the favourite(s). Price suffixes identify the winner’s position in the market. These fields are retained independently.
- All listed rows are retained, including blank years. Winner counts exclude rows with no named winner. Later missing results do not imply a loss.
- Summary ratios are retained as reported and may not reconcile with every detailed table cell. They are displayed separately from calculations made from the winner records. A high winner share is not a selection strike rate or evidence of profit.
- “Won” and “placed” are retained as separate reported outcomes. No combined place rate or profit is inferred.
- Format changed to a handicap in 2025; earlier conditions-race winners are not a like-for-like sample.
- The race became a handicap in 2025. Use the 2025 onward filter to inspect the newer format separately.
Staying is more than finishing slowly
Look for a horse that can conserve energy, jump economically and keep responding when the race becomes demanding. A big, relentless galloper is easy to imagine enjoying the distance. The evidence still has to show that it can settle and complete a sound round.
Do not assume that a strong finish over three miles proves the longer trip. It can support the case, especially if the horse was still finding at the line, but pace and ground will affect how meaningful that evidence is. Stamina remains a judgement, not a box ticked by pedigree alone.
The handicap comparison
Once you have a stamina shortlist, return to the weights. An improving novice may have more to offer than its current mark suggests, but a rise in class and distance can expose inexperience as easily as unlock progress. Assess the quality of the horses it has already met.
A reliable jumper who travels comfortably can make life easier for its rider over a long race. Compare that practical strength with the attractions of a less exposed rival. The aim is to understand the trade-off, not to make every runner fit the same fashionable profile.
Previous renewals
The 2027 runners
Declarations will settle the field.
The 2027 runners are not yet declared. A past winner or a horse quoted in an ante-post market is not a confirmed runner. Check entries, connections’ published plans and the final declarations before treating a horse as part of this field.
No live prices or confirmed 2027 runner list are presented in this guide. Reviewed 11 November 2026.
Your questions, answered
Is the National Hunt Chase restricted to amateur jockeys?
No. The format introduced in 2025 permits professional riders.
Why are old National Hunt Chase trends difficult to use?
The change to a handicap and removal of the amateur-only requirement altered important conditions. Older and newer renewals should be labelled separately.
