It’ll be brews all round if Queen Mother Champion Chase winner Put The Kettle On rounds off a hugely-successful season by claiming another big prize. After beating the likes of Chacun Pour Soi and Nube Negra at the Cheltenham Festival, Henry de Bromhead’s mare will attempt to get the better of Altior over two miles at Sandown Park.
The Grade 1 Celebration Chase is one of the feature races on Jump Finale day at Sandown Park as the 2020/21 jump racing season in Great Britain draws to a close. The contest dates back to 2001 when the foot-and-mouth crisis caused the cancellation of the Cheltenham Festival and a replacement for the Queen Mother Champion Chase was run at Sandown in late April.
New to Paddy Power?
Altior has won the last three renewals and represents the biggest danger to Put The Kettle On, with trainer Nicky Henderson hoping to make it five in a row having also saddled Sprinter Sacre in 2016.
Paddy Power News has everything you need to know as some of the speediest chasers in the game embark on Sandown for the season climax.

CELEBRATION CHASE TIPS
Frank Hickey: “The ground is ideal and if SCEAU ROYAL jumps like he did at Cheltenham, he is the one to beat as far as I am concerned.”
Matt Chapman: “I’d love Altior to win and I’ll scream him home even if it’s at the expense of my selection. That will be SCEAU ROYAL, who is not top class but will love conditions.”
Mick Fitzgerald: “I know I will get plenty of stick for staying with ALTIOR, but I don’t care. He has been an amazing Champion and not having gone to the big festivals this year, should be relatively fresh.”
