National Hunt Chase
National Hunt Chase
The National Hunt Challenge Cup, known as the National Hunt Chase, is a novice chase for amateur riders over 3m6f at the Cheltenham Festival.
Up until 2019 it was run over 4m but the distance was reduced due to welfare concerns after 2020’s race, in which only four of the 18 runners completed.
It has produced future Grand National winners including Tiger Roll, plus Gold Cup winners like Native River
