The National Hunt season is really beginning to find its stride as we move into November and Wincanton has a Saturday card jam-packed with quality fare at the beginning of the month.
The preceding Elite Hurdle may be the classiest contest on the card, but it is this excellent handicap chase which is likely to prove the big betting heat of the day.
This race was first run in 1962 and has been dominated by trainer Paul Nicholls who has a record eleven wins. His Manor Farm Stables are situated less than 10 miles from the racecourse.
