WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR - JACK RICHARDS NOVICES' CHASE 2024

down

In the final running as a Grade 1, Grey Dawning and Facile Vega were sent off as joint-favourites but this turned into an all-British affair, with Harry Skelton and Harry Cobden having a thrilling tussle all the way in the home straight. Grey Dawning hit the front at the last and had enough in the tank to hold off Ginny’s Destiny, despite idling on the run-in, with the Venetia Williams-trained Djelo completing a 1-2-3 for the home team.
