Home / Horse Racing / Fort Leney Novice Chase
The Fort Leney Novice Chase is a Grade 1 National Hunt race held at the Leopardstown Racecourse in Ireland. It takes place each year in late December during the Christmas Festival at the racecourse and it's worth keeping an eye out for the latest betting as the race begins to gather more prestige. In 2011 the race will take place on 28th December.
It is run over a distance of 3 miles and is for 4 year olds and over. The race was once a Grade 2 and a Grade 3 race in the past, and was recognised as a Grade 1 race in 2003.
In betting trends, Noel Meade has enjoyed some recent success as a trainer, winning in 2008 and 2009, in the race and it may be worth looking at his horses' odds when placing your ante-post bet.

The Queen Mother Champion Chase takes place on the second day of the prestigious Cheltenham Festival and is one of the highlights of the day. It is the most prestigious two mile chase in National Hunt racing and always highly anticipated..
There have been some great winners in the past, including Flying Bolt, Moscow Flyer and Master Minded. Paul Nicholls has enjoyed great success as a trainer in this race in the past and his horses will no doubt be worth keeping an eye on in the build up to the race.
There will be some excellent opportunities to place bets on the Queen Mother Champion Chase and throughout the Cheltenham Festival in March.....
