Second race of ladies day

The Brown Advisory Novices' Chase is a Grade 1 race held on the second day of the Cheltenham Festival, also known as Ladies Day.

This contest serves as a key proving ground for novice chasers with aspirations of future Cheltenham Gold Cup glory.

Run over the demanding Old Course, the race covers a distance of approximately 3 miles, with horses facing a test of 20 fences. It's considered the pinnacle of the novice chasing season.

The winner of this high-stakes race receives a substantial prize, £102,095 in 2023, further cementing its status as a highlight of the Festival.

History of the Brown Advisory Novices’ Chase

Established in 1946 as the Broadway Novices' Chase, this race has undergone a series of sponsorship changes since the 1960s. Here's a look at its evolution:

  • 1964-1973: The Tote became the sponsor, giving the race the name Totalisator Champion Novices' Chase.
  • 1974-1996: Sun Alliance took over sponsorship.
  • 1997-2008: Following a merger, Royal & SunAlliance sponsored the race.
  • 2009-2020: RSA Insurance Group became the sponsor, leading to the race being known as the RSA Chase.
  • 2021-Present: Brown Advisory assumed sponsorship, and the race is now called the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase.

The race has a rich tradition of producing future stars of the sport. Many winners have gone on to achieve glory in the prestigious Cheltenham Gold Cup. A notable example is Lord Windermere, who won the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase in 2013 and claimed the Gold Cup the following year.
