Manifesto Novice Chase Day 1 Race Card

The Manifesto Chase is for the Novice Jumpers and the race card will be crucial for helping punters make their selections ahead of the race at Aintree, there was a top field last season including the exciting Menorah so it can give us some pointers towards future stars. The Race Card itself will have all the information needed about the race with connections and form lines included along with the silks and number for each horse.
