The Mrs Paddy Power Mare’s Chase is the most prestigious steeplechase for mares run in the United Kingdom.
2025 Cheltenham Mares Chase Preview
The Cheltenham Mares Chase has produced a favourite that is underpriced in Dinoblue. She’s got a knack for finding the places and won on her last outing, but is not compelling enough to be trading at close to Evens.
Willie Mullins’ Allegorie De Vassy is priced as the second favourite, but offers even less value trading at under 4/1 given that she was beaten by Dinoblue last time out.
While Brides Hill doesn’t look a significantly stronger horse than the top two in the betting, she is at least priced reasonably at 5/1 and looks to be building towards the form that saw her win two mares’ chases last season.

The Mrs Paddy Power Mares’ Chase is a recent addition to the Cheltenham Festival and will be run on the fourth day of the meeting. Open to mares aged 5 or older, the Mares Chase is run on the New Course at Cheltenham over a distance of 2 miles and 4.5 furlongs. Seventeen fences are jumped during the race.
The Mares Chase replaces the Centenary Novices Handicap Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, which has been moved to a separate race day outside of the festival schedule. The Mares Chase is the first mares-only steeplechase to be run at the Cheltenham Festival.
Look out for mares that have performed well in open races earlier in the season over 2 mile distances. As always, look out for horses who offer value at prices over 4/1 so you can hedge your selection if it places with an each-way bet.
