Centenary Novices Handicap Chase
| The Centenary Novices Handicap Chase run over 2 miles 4 furlongs and 10 yards and 16 fences was first run in 2005 when the race was sponsored by Jewson and named the Jewson Novices Handicap Chase. At the 2011 Festival the sponsors Jewson decided to sponsor a new race, the Jewson Novices Chase which became the Golden Miller Novices Chase, and more recently the Turner Novices Chase, while the former race became known as the Centenary Novices Handicap Chase to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Cheltenham Festival. This race continued as part of the Festival card until 2020 and was transferred to Sandown Park in 2021. |
