Simonsig set to claim Betfred Novices´ Chase (Registered As The Noel Novices´ Chase) Grade 2
Simonsig will be the one to watch out for in the Betfred Novices´ Chase (Registered As The Noel Novices´ Chase) Grade 2 at Ascot in England on Friday, December 21, 2012. He is a terrific runner and does not give many chances to his opponents in any form
of racing.
Although, the young challenger has never appeared in a chase event before, yet he cannot be ruled out of contention at any cost. He is a great jumper and will definitely be strong in the class-1 contest, scheduled to kick off at 14:30 GMT.
However, there will still be immense pressure on him because of the track conditions at Ascot. There has been a lot of rain around the venue overnight, which has left the ground heavy.
This is definitely not a good sign for him, as he does not have any experience of running under such worse conditions. He has raced on a rain affected ground in the past, but things were not bad as they are today.
Therefore, the punters might look to gamble some money against him in order to hit a jackpot at the end of the day.
A total of five contestants have been attracted towards the 2 mile, 3 furlong event, which has a cash prize of £16,881 for the winner. They will look to be competitive in order to entertain the spectators.
Simonsig has been given a general starting price of 2 to 9, which suggests that it will not be a clever idea to place many bets against him. He has never dropped out of the top-two even once in his racing career.
Overall, the Nicky Henderson’s trained gelding has participated in six races, winning five of them whereas finished as a runner up once. This clearly shows what he is capable of achieving under jockey, Barry Geraghty.
However, Sulpius will look to make the most of his experience in chase events in order to cause an upset in the all important contest.
The Bob Buckler’s trained challenger has appeared in six of such races, winning three of them. Moreover, he will like the wet ground at Ascot, so it can be a good idea to risk some money on him today.
