Ravenhill wins National Hunt Chase for Elliott and Codd

Gordon Elliott enjoyed an opening day success as Ravenhill (12/1), ridden by Jamie Codd, won the National Hunt Chase, beating Lord Du Mesnil (11/2) by two and a quarter lengths. Third-placed Lamanver Pippin (33/1) was 28 lengths further back, while the 10/11 favourite, Carefully Selected, fell at the final fence when looking most unlikely to trouble the first two.

Ravenill gave Jamie Codd a 10th Cheltenham Festival winner when taking the National Hunt Chase.

The winning trainer was full of praise for jockey Codd, stating:

“Jamie gave him a great ride, and just hunted away giving the horse time. He travelled brilliantly. Jamie is a star and ‘’m very lucky to have him riding for me.”
