The Grand Annual Chase is an often unpredictable race. In recent years, we’ve had winners priced at 14/1, 22/1, 28/1, and even 66/1 back in 2019 when Kielan Woods rode Croco Bay to victory. It can be a great race to bet on due to the tempting prices and an even better race to use up some of your free bets on.

Run on day 2 of the Cheltenham Festival on the Old course, the Grand Annual Handicap Chase is a Grade 3 race that covers a distance of 2 miles and 62 yards. The race features 14 fences to be jumped and is open to horses aged five years or older.
The Grand Annual Chase is one of the most fiercely competitive races of the Cheltenham Festival and has produced some great winners such as Edredon Bleu, St. Pirran, and Sizing Europe.
The Grand Annual is one of the fastest and most tactical handicap chases at the Festival, and it always attracts strong interest from punters looking for value in a competitive two-mile field. Our Grand Annual Chase tips for Cheltenham 2027 are provided by respected racing analysts Will Smith and Dave Young who will be sharing both early selections and race-day picks. When backing any of our ante-post selections, be sure to pay a visit to our Cheltenham non-runner no bet page to minimise the risk should your selection not end up running.
You may also find our Grand Annual Chase tips featured in Will Smith’s Lucky 15 which will be available on each day of the 2027 Cheltenham Festival. There should be plenty of extra places available on Cheltenham races from many of the top bookies, which can add value to your bet.
The Grand Annual has strongly favoured horses aged six to nine, with fifteen of the last seventeen winners fitting that profile. Most winners are relatively lightly raced over fences, as only three this century had more than twelve chase starts, and novices or second-season chasers have accounted for thirteen of the last seventeen winners.
Recent form is not essential, with only two of the last twenty-two winners successful on their previous start. Favourites have struggled as well, with just one winning since 2013, while previous Festival experience is common, with seventeen of the last twenty-one winners having run at Cheltenham in a previous year.
The Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Handicap Chase is run over 1 mile and 7 furlongs on the Old Course at Cheltenham.
Yes, it is a handicap chase, with weights allocated according to official ratings in order to create a competitive field.
The race is open to chasers that meet the handicap rating criteria and is often contested by both novices and more experienced horses.
Yes, it regularly attracts a big field and is widely regarded as one of the most competitive handicap chases of the week.
