Cheltenham Race 2 - Brown Advisory Novices' Chase (Grade 1) (Registered As The Broadway Novices' Chase) (Gbb Race)

All seven contenders are trained in Ireland. The Willie Mullins trained BALLYBURN (1) has been progressing with racing over fences and should be suited by this step up in trip. Won at the top-level here hurdling last season and may score again following a comfortable success in the G1 Racing Post Novice Chase at Leopardstown last month. DANCING CITY (3) was a three-time G1 winner in the staying novice hurdle division. Commands respect having made a smooth transition to chasing. Consider. Winning the Martin Pipe last year BETTER DAYS AHEAD (2) always looked to be doing enough finding success attempting the G2 Ten Up Novices Chase at Navan 31 days ago and cannot be ignored. GORGEOUS TOM (4) is also worth noting.

Freshened for 31 days. Last outing finished second in a small field at Navan in the G2 on February 9 over 4800m, a neck behind Better Days Ahead with 73.5kg at $7.50. The run before ran last in a small field at Leopardstown in the G1 Racing Post Novice Chase on December 26 over 4900m, 45 len behind Croke Park with 74.5kg at $3.80. Fought on last time. Would need to step up.
