Bristol De Mai New JLT Favourite

Following the news that Killultagh Vic will miss the Cheltenham Festival and the rest of the season due to injury, Nigel Twiston-Davies’ Bristol De Mai is the new favourite to win the JLT Novices’ Chase.

The five-year-old, who was foot perfect when landing the Grade 1 Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase at Sandown, is now the new 7/2 favourite to win the JLT.

Our traders are keen to keep him on side as he was very eye catching when winning at Sandown.

Outlander, a stablemate of Killultagh Vic, who won the Grade 1 Flogas Novices’ Chase at Leopardstown last Saturday, is next in the betting at 5/1 with another Clonsutton stablemate, Douvan, priced at 6/1. Punters who took a chance on backing Outlander at 10/1 when Killultagh Vic was still in the race, are now sitting on nice each-way bets with the Gigginstown House Stud owned son of Stowaway.

L’Ami Serge, Henry De Bromhead’s Sizing John and Shaneshill are next in the betting at 10/1.
