West of Scotland Pattern Novices' Chase
The West Of Scotland Pattern Novices' Chase was a National Hunt novice chase in Scotland. It was run at Ayr over a distance of two and a half miles although the distance was increased to 3 miles and 110 yards in 1991. It was scheduled to take place each year in late January.
Inaugurated in 1976, the race was typically won by horses whose overall profile was shy of top class, although it was taken by three horses who would achieve Timeform ratings exceeding 173 in Little Owl, Wayward Lad and Jodami.[1] Other useful winners included Carrick Hill Lad, a promising horse who finished runner up in a strongly contested Welsh National,[2] and Whispering Steel who went on to be a useful handicapper.[3] The race was discontinued as a pattern contest in 1994, with a three mile novice chase on the corresponding card in 1995 being run as a Class D contest.
