RACE DESCRIPTION

Novice races tend to be for younger horses that are still learning their way over hurdles or fences and allow them to race against each other before graduating up the ranks. Horses are classed as a novice if they have yet to win a race, under the respective code, prior to the official start of the season. This race has also been allocated Grade 2 status which makes it a high-class contest and only bettered by a Grade 1, so expect to see some top-notch contenders lining up. Initially all runners are allocated 11st 2lb (4yo 10st 6lb) before penalties are awarded to horses which have won above a certain level prior to taking part here - see how Magical Zoe carries 5lb extra for her Grade Three success at Down Royal.
