2025 Ladbrokes Trophy Handicap Chase Trends
The Ladbrokes Trophy Handicap Chase was first run back in 1988 and was staged as the Racing Post Chase until 2011 and then the Racing Plus Chase in 2012 & 2013. Leading bookmaker – BetBright – took over the sponsorship from 2014 till 2017. In 2020 we had another new backer of the race with leading bookmaker Betway taking over, while in 2021 the race was run as the Close Brothers Chase.
Once again, the baton was handed over to another new sponsor as leading bookmaker - Coral - begin their association with the race in 2022 and yet again in 2024 with Ladbrokes the current backers.
This Grade Three handicap is run over a distance of 3m at Kempton Park racecourse the contest is often described as another Grand National trial, with two horses – Rhyme ‘n’ Reason and Rough Quest – landing both races in the same season, while it could pay to know that both those horses also contested the Cheltenham Gold Cup that season.
The Anthony Honeyball-trained Forward Plan won the prize in 2024. While the 2023 winner Our Power might also run again.
Here at GeeGeez, we take a look back at recent winners of the Ladbrokes Trophy Handicap Chase and gives you the key stats to look out for ahead of the 2025 renewal – this year run on Saturday February 22nd.
