The BetVictor Handicap Chase is a Grade 3 National Hunt race in Great Britain. It is a handicap steeplechase and is run at Cheltenham Racecourse in November, over a distance of 3 miles and 3½ furlongs.

History

From 1987 to 1998 the race was known as the Flowers Original Handicap Chase. The 1999 running was known as the Hoegaarden Handicap Chase. From 2000 to 2002 it was sponsored by Intervet and known as the Intervet Trophy. The 2003 race was run under the name of the Open Trophy. The race was sponsored by Servo from 2004 to 2009, Morson Group in 2010 and Rewards4Racing in 2011. In 2012 it was renamed the Henrietta Knight Handicap Chase in honour of Henrietta Knight, a recently retired trainer whose training successes included winning three Cheltenham Gold Cups with Best Mate. From 2013 to 2015 the race was sponsored by the Murphy Group.
