The '''TrustATrader Plate Handicap Chase''' is a Premier Handicap [[National Hunt racing|National Hunt]] [[steeplechase (horse racing)|steeplechase]] in Great Britain which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run on the New Course at [[Cheltenham Racecourse|Cheltenham]] over a distance of about 2 miles and 4½ furlongs (2 miles 4 furlongs and 127 yards, or 4,139 metres), and during its running there are seventeen fences to be jumped. It is a [[Handicap (horse racing)|handicap race]], and is scheduled to take place each year during the [[Cheltenham Festival]] in March.
==History==
The race was established in memory of the [[Anthony Bingham Mildmay, 2nd Baron Mildmay of Flete|2nd Baron Mildmay of Flete]] (1909–1950), an amateur National Hunt jockey who rode three winners at the Cheltenham Festival. The inaugural race took place in April 1951, because the planned running, in March, had to be abandoned, due to a waterlogged course. It was originally titled the '''Mildmay of Flete Handicap Chase'''.
The [[Racing Post]] sponsored the race from 2006 to 2008, and during this period it was titled the '''Racing Post Plate'''. The 2009 running was named the '''Freddie Williams Festival Plate''', in tribute to [[Freddie Williams (businessman)|Freddie Williams]] (1942–2008), a popular Scottish [[bookmaker]] who owned a pitch at Cheltenham.<ref>{{cite news | title = Horse race named after bookmaker | publisher = bbc.co.uk | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/gloucestershire/7906795.stm | date = 23 February 2009 | accessdate = 12 February 2010}}</ref> The construction company '''Byrne Group''' supported the event from 2010 to 2014<ref>{{cite web | title = Byrne Group announced as sponsor | publisher = thejockeyclub.co.uk/cheltenham/ | url = https://www.thejockeyclub.co.uk/cheltenham/ | date = 2 February 2010 | accessdate = 12 February 2010 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210210162247/https://www.thejockeyclub.co.uk/cheltenham/ | archive-date = 10 February 2021 | url-status = dead }}</ref> and from 2015 to 2020 it was sponsored by '''Brown Advisory and Merriebelle Stable'''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable new Festival sponsors|url=http://www.gloucestershireecho.co.uk/8203-Brown-Advisory-Merriebelle-Stable-new/story-25841836-detail/story.html|website=Gloucestershire Echo|accessdate=14 March 2015|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402121703/http://www.gloucestershireecho.co.uk/8203-Brown-Advisory-Merriebelle-Stable-new/story-25841836-detail/story.html|archivedate=2 April 2015|df=dmy-all}}</ref> The bookmaking firm Paddy Power sponsored in 2021. The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. took over the sponsorship from 2022 and the 2023 race was sponsored by [[Magners]]. The race held Grade 3 status until 2022 and was reclassified as a Premier Handicap from the 2023 running when Grade 3 status was renamed by the [[British Horseracing Authority]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Jump Pattern Committee update 22/23 season |url=https://www.britishhorseracing.com/press_releases/jump-pattern-committee-update-22-23-season/ |publisher=British Horseracing Authority |access-date=6 March 2023}}</ref>
