2025 Fitzdares Lightning Novices' Chase Tips
Caldwell Potter was able to land a notable five length victory at Carlisle at the beginning of December, with the seven-year-old returning after nearly a year’s absence to claim the spoils. However, he was unable to deliver the goods as the short-priced favourite in a recent outing at Cheltenham where he was thirteen lengths off the pace.
L'Eau du Sud is definitely a horse worth following right now. Dan Skelton trains a seven-year-old who claimed a solid victory at Stratford in late October, although the horse has gone on to impress at Cheltenham and Sandown. Both successes were achieved as the 10/11 favourite and there’s no reason for punters to desert him now.
Gidleigh Park could be a viable each-way selection, with the seven-year-old hoping to get back to successful ways after being pulled up last time out. There was some smart form shown at Cheltenham Racecourse a year ago when scoring as the 5/6 favourite before finishing sixth in the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle.
Personal Ambition was second at Ascot in a field of four runners last time out, with the horse just over two lengths behind Mark Of Gold in the Howden Noel Novices’ Chase. There was also a commendable fourth placed finish in a two mile handicap race at Newbury Racecourse and we can see the horse hitting the frame here.
