Byrne Group Plate Handicap Betting

The Byrne Group Plate Handicap Steeple Chase (formerly Festival Plate) is a handicap run over two mile four furlongs for chasers who are five years old and older.

There is always a large field which goes to post and this tends to be a tough race for punters to work out as proved in 2009 when Something Wells caused the upset of the festival winning at the massive odds of 33/1 and again in 2008 with a 66/1 winner.

This is further emphasised by the fact that there has only been 1 winning favourite in the last 28 years.

Martin Pipe now retired and his operation is managed by his son David had a great run of success in this race between 1999 and 2001 winning it three times running and Nicky Henderson won it twice in a row in recent years in 2005 and 2006.
