Kauto Star Novices Chase Betting Odds

We’re looking forward to the Ladbrokes Kauto Star Novices' Chase where eight runners are set to go to post at Kempton Park on Boxing Day. There are some interesting contenders and none more so than The Jukebox Man who is trained by Ben Pauling and is set to go off as warm favourite for this three mile encounter.

Hyland and Masaccio are also trading at single figure prices, with the former trained by Nicky Henderson and there could be more to come from the seven-year-old, with the latter running for Alan King and he hasn’t been out of the first two in three appearances this term, with White Rhino having achieved back to back successes this term.

2024 Ladbrokes Kauto Star Novices' Chase

The Jukebox Man has been a star performer during his career and it’s easy to see why this horse has been installed to win the Ladbrokes Kauto Star Novices' Chase. The six-year-old was successful when triumphing at Newbury at the end of November, claiming a two-length success over Masaccio and there could be more to come from the favourite.

As for Masaccio, it’s not out of the question that the horse could benefit from a longer trip considering that the previous meeting was over two miles and four furlongs. The horse did hit a fence when three out and jumped left, losing valuable distance and punters might prefer to go for this option at a bigger price.

Hyland has won on three of his previous four outings, with this win rate sure to attract punters and the seven-year-old was last seen beating three other contenders at Cheltenham in mid-November. That came after a success at the same track towards the end of October, with the horse bouncing back from a disappointing showing at Uttoxeter.

White Rhino has achieved back to back successes this term, with Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero training an eight-year-old who was able to score at Haydock Park in early December when achieving a sizeable victory on testing ground. This came after a victory at Ayr in early November and punters might go for a big each-way price.
