In its 163rd year, the National Hunt Steeple Chase Challenge Cup has been run more times than any other event at the Cheltenham Festival.

Some notable racehorses to have won the race in modern times include Topsham Bay (1990), Hot Weld (2006), Back In Focus (2013), Tiger Roll (2017), Galvin (2021) and last year’s winner Gaillard Du Mesnil.
