Rising Stars Novices Chase 2026 Betting Odds

Saturday 7 November 2026 · Wincanton · By Matthew Glazier · Last updated

There are five horses trading at single figure betting odds for the Boodles Rising Stars Novices' Chase, with No Drama This End not guaranteed to run considering the Paul Nicholls-trained charge holds multiple entries. Talk To The Man is a similar price and we were taken by a seasonal debut for Dan Skelton where a victory was landed.

Cristal d'Estruval has been flawless for Harry Derham and can't be easily discounted, with Crystal Island having secured a number of key victories. Taurus Bay could also return from a long lay-off to go well for Ben Pauling, with the remainder of the field trading at a much bigger price. We recommend watching out for market movers ahead of the action.

Rising Stars Novices' Chase Betting Tips

Crystal Island looks to be a talented five-year-old who hasn't made any mistakes during his National Hunt career thus far. Back in April, the horse was sent off as the even money favourite at Ffos Las and it was a notable victory over two miles and four furlongs. It came after previously scoring for Nicky Henderson at Ascot back in December.

Over two miles, five and a half furlongs, there was a striking effort in the Howden Maiden Hurdle where the horse demonstrated some excellent staying power. The horse was able to secure a four-length win, with this representing a solid each-way contender for this showdown. We think this horse could end up being an each-way bet to nothing.

Talk To The Man is another exciting six-year-old, with this Dan Skelton-trained charge having landed a convincing victory at Worcester recently. Previously in April, the horse was pulled up although that was preceded by successes at Newbury and Taunton. The Worcester win in a Beginners Chase saw the 15/8 shot win by four lengths.

Cristal d'Estruval has spent nearly a year away from the track, with Harry Derham saddling a runner who has a strong track record. We didn't learn a great deal from a December win at Carlisle where the short priced runner was able to record a facile win. There was previously a bright effort at Warwick and deserves to be among the favourites for this race.

Rising Stars Novices Chase Prediction: Crystal Island

Wins at Ascot and Ffos Las mean that the horse has a 100% record and it could continue here.
