When is the Stable Plate 2023?
Cheltenham Thursday 16th March 4.10pm
Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate (Grade 3) (5yo+)
Distance: 2 miles 5 Furlongs
Weights: Handicap
The fifth race on day three is the Festival Plate, or The Brown Advisory and Merriebelle Stable Plate to give it it’s full name. This race is a handicap chase over two miles and four and a half furlongs on the new course, and there are 17 fences to be negotiated.
Big priced winners are common in this race with only one favourite having got home in front in the last 28 years.
This is a race I have a soft spot for, as I tipped Mr McGoldrick to win this in 2008 for the Sue Smith yard and it prevailed at 66/1 – another win like that this year would be fantastic!

Who are the Stable Plate Leading Contenders?
We are currently working through the Cheltenham hopefuls and will update this section as soon as we have made our shortlist of contenders
THE GLANCING QUEEN hasn’t done a lot wrong in three starts over fences and assuming Alan King’s charge takes the handicap route at the Festival then the Jeremy mare could prove to be well treated.
Already with three Festival runs under her belt she developed into a smart hurdler in seasons past and finished fifth behind Telmesomethinggirl in the Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle twelve months ago. She’s since won her first two chase starts this campaign, taking a Listed event at Warwick on her second outing before chasing home L’homme Presse in the Dipper here on New Years’ Day.
She had held every chance there until an awkward jump at the last obstacle gave the winner a definite advantage; but she still finished clear of the third and there’s every likelihood that she has further improvement still to come over fences.
This would be a fairly stiff task stepping into a handicap and taking on some seasoned campaigners; but a mark of 141 would likely prove very fair and she can make her presence felt if pitching her hat into the ring.
ANTE-POST SELECTION: THE GLANCING QUEEN
What’s Our Stable Plate Tips?
We told our members SMARTY WILD 15:40 Cheltenham 50/1 each way – Very consistent this season and there are no concerns about the drying ground. Expected to be staying on past tired horses in the closing stages. A massive each way chance off big odds.
SMARTY WILD ended up being a non-runner
Here is what Keith wrote for the 2020 Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate.
Another enigma of a race where, thanks to trainers keeping their cards close to their chests, we are very much in the dark regarding the potential runners and riders.
One horse that does fit the profile for the race is BEN DUNDEE, who has experience of these fences, and finished third in the Novices Handicap Chase at last year's festival. That experience is good enough for me to give him serious consideration.
Currently rated at 142, he is ideally weighted to be competitive in this. While disappointing over 2 miles last time (a trip that is too short for him), his previous run at Navan when ¾ length second over this sort of trip was very decent form indeed.
My selection for the Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate 2020 is: BEN DUNDEE 14/1 (NRNB).
As this article is written in advance of the 2020 Cheltenham Festival, the likely contenders are expected to change as we get closer to St Patricks Day Thursday. The picture also starts to get much clearer as we approach the festival, with trainers starting to show their cards in the weeks leading up to Day 3.
On the day our runner in the Brown Advisory & Merriebelle Stable Plate BEN DUNDEE was making good headway when hampered by fallers 2 fences out and fifth was the best he could manage.
