2023 Drinmore Novice Chase Tips
Letsbeclearaboutit is the shortest-priced horse to win the 2023 Drinmore Novice Chase, with the eight-year-old looking for a consecutive hat-trick of victories. There was a win against seven other runners at Gowran Park Racecourse
Found A Fifty is a talented six-year-old who will go for trainer Gordon Elliott, having achieved an eight-length win at Down Royal on 10 November. The 8/13 favourite looked to be in decent nick following some underwhelming performances at Punchestown and Aintree, with the horse eighth in the Top Novices’ Hurdle.
Sharjah is something of an old stager, with the Willie Mullins-trained runner having landed a victory at Galway in early August, while a more recent win came at Tipperary and that was a twelve-length triumph against four other contenders. The fact that the horse only finished three lengths behind Constitution Hill at Aintree is strong form.
I Am Maximus also goes for trainer Mullins, with the seven-year-old having won on his last outing in the previous season, with the horse securing a victory at Fairyhouse when beating twenty-six other horses. This was in the Irish Grand National, so stamina is unlikely to be an issue and that was over three miles and five furlongs on soft ground.
