2027 Brown Advisory Novices' Chase Preview
The Brown Advisory Novices Chase is a Grade 1 run over three miles and one hundred and ten yards at Cheltenham, previously known as the RSA Chase for sponsorship reasons over many years, and is the Gold Cup for novice chasers; plenty of future stars will make the lineup.
The 2012 winner of this race, Bobs Worth and the 2013 winner, Lord Windermere, both went on to Gold Cup glory the following season. 2017 winner Might Bite went on to win the Boxing Day showpiece King George VI Chase at Kempton before finishing runner-up in the 2018 Gold Cup. Santini and Delta Work chased home Topofthegame in 2020, and yet again, the form looks rock solid with Delta Work now a multiple Grade 1 chase winner.
