Turners Novices' Chase 4 Places Each Way

Registered as the Golden Miller Novices’ Chase, its a Grade 1 race, run over 2 and a half miles for enterprising middle-distance novice chasers. This race between 2015 and 2017 has been won by the Ruby Walsh / Willie Mullins combination, with Invitation Only flying their colours in 2019.

For the 2024 Cheltenham Festival any field approaching 12/13 runners is very likely to see 4 places each way offered by online bookmakers, meaning an additional place over and above the standard 3 places each way. Of course, offering 4 places each way in the Turners Novices’ Chase is an excellent way to offer maximum profit opportunity for punters and is a promotion which will drive 2024 Cheltenham Festival new customer registrations for savvy bookmakers.

The Turners Novices’ Chase has only been in existence since 2011 and up until now has been dominated by Irish trainers. In its inaugural year, Tony McCoy won under the Paul Nolan trained Noble Prince. Sir Des Champs won this for Willie Mullins in 2012 before going on to win the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury and finish runner-up to Bobs Worth in the 2013 Cheltenham Gold Cup. Since 2015 though Mullins has gone onto train the winner of the Turners across 3 consecutive races. Vautour, Black Hercules and Yorkhill have provided memorable victories for Ireland’s Champion trainer, with Ruby Walsh piloting all of these triumphs.

With anything up to 13 runners across recent renewals, online bookmakers up until now have paid the standard 3 places each way at 1/4 odds or increasingly commonly 1/5 odds for this Turners Novices’ Chase. However 2024 could see this change, as the competitive nature of the online bookmaker industry would make any field of 12+ runners rife for an additional each way place. We could certainly see 4 places each way for the Turners in 2024. It’s worth remembering as a punter, that the big online bookmakers have a new customer war chest for the Cheltenham Festival, so offering additional each way places attracts new customers who spot the value to be had. Naturally 4 places covers circa 25% of the field – a situation which can only drive the chances of profit.

At the time of writing, no bookmakers have extended beyond the standard each way terms. As soon as this changes we’ll confirm details here.

We track the value dished out by online bookmakers across the major National Hunt races. Extended each way terms gives punters a huge boost in terms of profit potential and is the perfect promotion for those who love to back big priced long shots. With some High Street bookmakers still categorically giving their customers the standard each way terms, savvy online punters have been using online bookmakers who have been offering far better value to their customers now for years.

The 2024 renewal of the Turners Novices’ Chase could be the first year that sees online bookmakers offering extended each way place for the first time.
