The Jewson Novices' Chase could turn out to be one of the best races on day three of the festival. The race has been introduced as a way to fill the four day card but it's a lot more difficult than the majority of races over a similar distance.
Day Three Opener of the Cheltenham Festival

Horses of five-years-old or older may enter the race. The day three opener of the Cheltenham Festival will be a handicap race which means better horses in the race will be forced to carry extra weight to ensure fairness and a more even race.
