2023 Plate Handicap Chase Handicap Chase Tips, Odds and News

Following the Stayers' Hurdle on day three at the Cheltenham Festival is the Festival Plate Handicap Chase. This two-and-a-half-mile handicap chase was created back in 1951, and has been won by many great chasers during its 60-year history.

This race was known as the Brown Advisory Plate for a number of years. In 2021, Brown Advisory moved their sponsorship to the Grade One Novices' Chase on day two, with Paddy Power taking over sponsorship of the Plate.

Plate Handicap Chase History

Martin Pipe won the race for the first time when Terao scored in 1997. The last of his four wins came six years later, when Blowing Wind won. Pipe's son, David pipe has also won this handicap three times.

Nicky Henderson trained the first two-time winner of the Paddy Power Plate, 1985 and '86 winner The Tsarevich. Henderson has trained two further winners, Liberthine and Non So in 2005 and '06.

Venetia Williams has saddle the winner of this handicap three times, with the last of her victories coming with Carrickboy in 2013.

Irish trainers secured a hat-trick of wins between 2016 and '18. Colm Murphy's Empire Of Dirt, Noel Meade's Road To Respect and The Storyteller for Gordon Elliott.

Nick Williams celebrated his first Cheltenham Festival winner when Siruh Du Lac won the Paddy Power Plate under Lizzie Kelly in 2019.
