Houblon Des Obeaux ideal choice for GPG Novices´ Chase Grade 2
A total of six quality stallions will be combating in the GPG Novices´ Chase (Registered As The Worcester Novices´ Chase) Grade 2 at Newbury in England on Thursday, November 29, 2012.
All of them have been doing a very good job for their respective teams and they will definitely spice up the competition in the all important class-1 contest, scheduled to kick off at 14:05 GMT.
The overall distance to cover in the race will be 3 miles, which means that stamina will be the key for a victory. It will not be easy for any runner to dominate the proceedings, as the ground has become soft due to overnight rain.
Some of the runners will not like this situation at all whereas others will see this as an opportunity of bagging £13,668.
Houblon Des Obeaux has been given the highest odds for a victory by the bookmakers, as they expect him to be dominant in the race.
The young gelding from France likes running over fences and he has got a very good record in this format. He has been priced 13 to 8, which clearly suggests that he will be the one to watch out for at the end of the day.
He has mostly run on rain affected grounds, which suit his running style more compared to others. This will help him get the attention of the punters, who will be eying to win some easy bets today.
The Venetia Williams’ trainee has earned a couple of back-to-back victories recently and he has a chance of recording a hat-trick in chase events. He will be partnered by veteran jockey, Aidan Coleman, who has got a fabulous record in this format.
On the other hand, Hadrian´s Approach will also be fancying his chances of winning the Grade 2 contest. He is loaded with immense talent and has proved that with some spectacular performances for his team in the past.
Overall, the Nicky Henderson’s trainee has appeared in just one chase event, winning it by a nose distance at the end of the day. He was accompanied by experienced jockey, Barry Geraghty, who will once again be accompanying him at Newbury.
