The Cross Country Chase is a steeplechase race that takes place on the second day of the Cheltenham Festival, which is known as Ladies Day, and covers a distance of approximately 3 miles and 6 furlongs.
Unlike other steeplechase races at the Cheltenham Festival, the Cross Country Chase takes place on a specially designed course that includes a variety of different obstacles, including banks, ditches, and fences. The course is designed to test the horses’ jumping and stamina abilities, as well as their adaptability to different terrains and challenges.
The race is open to horses aged five years and older, and it often attracts a large field of runners from all over the world. The pace of the race can be slower than other steeplechases, as the horses must navigate a variety of different obstacles, and there are often changes in terrain and direction that require the horses to be agile and flexible.
Over the years, many legendary horses and jockeys have competed in the Cross Country Chase, including the likes of Tiger Roll, who won the race in 2018, 2019 and 2021, and jockey Keith Donoghue, who rode Tiger Roll to victory in all three of those years.

The Cross Country has become a race where market leaders tend to dominate. In five of the last six editions of the race, the first two home came from the front two in the betting, with the favourite winning the other. Age is also important, with six of the last eight winners aged under ten, while the remaining two were previous winners of the race.
Irish-trained runners have been hard to beat, winning seventeen of the last twenty, with Gordon Elliott responsible for six of the last eight. Course experience is almost essential, as sixteen of the last twenty winners had already run on this course, and seven of the last nine winners wore headgear.
The Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase is run over approximately 3 miles and 6 furlongs on Cheltenham’s specialist cross-country course.
The Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase is run on a unique course featuring banks, rails and varied obstacles rather than standard park fences. The layout is very different from the Old and New Courses used for most other races during the Festival.
The race typically attracts experienced chasers, many of whom specialise in cross-country events throughout the season.
No, it is run as a conditions race, meaning weights are allocated based on race conditions rather than official handicap ratings.
Yes, experience over similar obstacles and courses is often beneficial due to the unusual layout and varied jumping tests.
