2020 Cotswold Chase Free Tips & Trends

Run at Cheltenham racecourse – normally in the third week of January at their Trials Meeting – the Cotswold Chase is run over a trip of 3m 1 ½ furlongs. The race is deemed as another Cheltenham Gold Cup trial, but maybe only in name as the last horse to land both races in the same season was Looks Like Trouble in 2000, while Master Oats took both prizes back in 1995.

Twelve months ago in 2019 we saw the Paul Nicholls-trained Frodon win the race under jockey Bryony Frost – that was the fifth win in the race for trainer Paul Nicholls. While it’s still been a terrible race for the favourite – with no winning market leader in the last 16 runnings.

Here at TQ we take a look back at past winners of the Cotswold Chase and give you all the stats that mater ahead of the 2020 renewal – this year run on Saturday 25th January.
