About the Sun Racing Plate Handicap Chase
The Sun Racing Plate is a handicap chase covering a distance of 2 miles 5 furlongs and 17 fences on the way to the finishing post.
While the Sun Racing Plate offers one of the more generous purses for a Cheltenham Sun Racing handicap, it’s field comprises horses good enough to compete at Grade 3 handicap level, but unlikely to ever have an impact on higher rated races. Unusually, the race has produced a multiple title winner, with The Tsarevich winning the race twice in succession in the 1980s.
As with any handicap you’re going to have to do the hard yards for picking a winner yourself, screening the field for horses whose weight and staying power match race and course conditions on the day. That said, the Sun Racing Plate does favour horses who have shown form prior to competing, so horses with places or wins prior to the race are worth considering, particularly if there are wins over a similar distance.
Wins by rank outsiders are also the exception rather than the norm, which means you’re likely to find the winner lurking in the band of horses priced 16/1 or lower, although you’d be well advised to stay away from the underpriced favourites that are likely to emerge as a consequence of this race following on the day’s feature race.
