We are looking forward to many races at Cheltenham in 2021, and one of the big ones is the Festival Novices Steeple Chase. Horses aged five and older contest the Grade 1 National Hunt chase, held at the Cheltenham racing course. Horses have to run 3 miles and ½ furloughs to win the grand prize, which stands at £175,000.
We love this annual event because it keeps us on the edge of our seats, and it’s a traditional race that is always popular with punters.
This exclusive event will play on a live stream held by Cheltenham and on the MansionBet UK live stream. Be ready for this exciting event held on the 17th March, 2021 at 14:10 GMT.

Festival Novices’ Steeple Chase: Tips, Predictions and Previews
We have our eyes set on Envoi Allen with betting odds of 6/1, but the second potential winner is Monkfish, who has odds of 8/1, while the third favourite is Latest Exhibition, who comes into this one at 10’s.
Envoi Allen is six-years-old and has already impressed, winning a number of races. This horse also won on March 11th this year at the Cheltenham racecourse, demonstrating his real strength on the course. It seems that all odds are leaning towards this horse, which is why he has become the favourite.
