Brave Villa proved the highlight in a 43-1 treble for rising star Tom O’Brien when putting in an immaculate jumping display in the Weatherbys Insurance Novices’ Handicap Chase at Chepstow.

O’Brien makes fewer mistakes than most and on Brave Villa decided to capitalise on the top weight’s accurate jumping, taking a grip of proceedings from the start and having only Island Of Memories to worry about in the home straight.
