After replacing the popular Emblem Handicap Chase at Wetherby in 1969, this race was originally called the Wetherby Pattern Chase but was renamed again in 1978 in memory of trainer Charlie Hall.
The event takes place at either the end of October or beginning of November each season as the jumps campaign is just getting going for real over a trip of three miles, the chasers taking in 18 fences on their way around.
As a Grade 2 stayers’ race with a prize fund of some £100,000, the Charlie Hall Chase is seen as a particularly important autumn race and can even act as an effective early-season trial for the Cheltenham Gold Cup, run the following march at the Festival.
Past winners of this event include several dual champions such as Wayward Lad, Barton Bank, One Man and See More Business alongside such names as Silviniaco Conti, Cue Card and Bristol De Mai, a list that includes numerous Gold Cup and King George winners.
