The National Hunt Chase may lack the glamour of Grade 1 status but it has been run more times than any other race in Cheltenham Festival history.

It is a marathon contest that clocks in at 3m6f – the second longest in distance at the four-day fiesta – and remains one of the biggest renewals on the National Hunt calendar for amateur riders.

The home team have a poor recent record in the National Hunt Chase as Irish-trained horses have won five of the last six renewals, with a certain Tiger Roll taking home the spoils in 2017 before landing the Grand National 13 months later.

You can run the rule over our National Hunt Chase odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.
