The TrustATrader Plate is the sixth race on the third day of racing at the Cheltenham Festival. It is a Premier Handicap chase that was first established back in 1951. The race had Grade 3 status until a reclassification of races by the British Horseracing Authority in 2022 renamed Grade 3 races to Premier Handicaps.

Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race)
The ante-post betting would suggest the home contingent are fancied to get one over on their Irish counterparts, not least because the highly-progessive C'est Different gets in under a handy weight. Absolutely Doyen is just as progressive, although Kikijo and Electric Mason have both been effective at this venue in the past and could offer the bigger threat. All that being said, the prize might head back across the Irish Sea courtesy of MINELLA EMPEROR. Kept to maiden/novice company for much of the season, Emmet Mullins' seven-year-old hit the woodwork on his handicap bow when qualifying for this race at Haydock last month. Just 1lb higher and with owner/regular rider Michael O'Neill back aboard, the British handicapper might have underestimated his ability. Stable companion Melbourne Shamrock is another to note, and top-weight Staffordshire Knot makes some appeal too on the back of his Boyne Hurdle triumph.

TrustATrader Plate History
The first renewal was in 1951, run in memory of the 2nd Baron Mildmay Of Flete who died the previous year aged only 41 and who was an amateur jockey who won three times at the Cheltenham Festival. The race was originally called Mildmay Of Flete Handicap Chase.
The race has had several sponsors this century including The Racing Post, Byrne Group, Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable, Paddy Power and most recently TrustATrader, who are the current sponsor.
