The National Hunt Steeple Chase is for the out and out staying novice chasers of 5 years and older and what makes this one of the unique races at the Cheltenham Festival is that all the National Hunt Steeple Chase Runners are ridden by amateur jockeys.
When assess past National Hunt Steeple Chase form there are a few interesting points that should be noted. Jonjo O'Neill has a very good record in this race with 4 winners in the 2000's. Also, horses younger than seven years of age tend not to do well as they still do not have the stamina traits to win this race, however this was proved incorrect as it is a long time that a horse younger than seven has won it except in 2009.
