Mildmay Novice Chase Race Card 2012

The Mildmay Novice Chase is one of the highlights of the Aintree Card over 3 miles and we always see some of the top chasers of the season take their chance in this Novice Race. Last season we saw the excellent Burton Port win the race so the race card for this one is not to be missed, it will be a comprehensive list of the entries and is a must for punters wanting to have a bet on the race.

Race OverviewWith Solix and Yes Tom (who has plenty to find on form anyway) far from guaranteed to put in a flawless round of jumping and Join Together possibly vulnerable on this speed track, it may be best to concentrate on Champion Court and SILVINIACO CONTI, with the latter taken to come out on top. Following a 55-day break, he's the freshest horse in the line-up and looks very interesting back on a sharp course, having shown top novice form under similar conditions in the Feltham at Kempton two outings back.[Steve Boow]
