National Hunt Steeple Chase

National Hunt Steeple Chase

The National Hunt Steeple Chase is for the out and out staying novice chasers of 5 years and older and what makes this one of the unique races at the Cheltenham Festival is that all the National Hunt Steeple Chase Runners are ridden by amateur jockeys. In 2012 the race will be named the Diamond Jubilee National Hunt chase in honour of the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations this year.

When assess past National Hunt Steeple Chase form there are a few interesting points that should be noted. Jonjo O'Neill has a very good record in this race with 4 winners in the 2000's. Also, horses younger than seven years of age tend not to do well as they still do not have the stamina traits to win this race, there was an exception in 2009 when Tricky Trickster won but generally punters should be looking for the slightly older horses.
