The **Cotswold Chase** is a Grade 2 [National Hunt](/source/National_Hunt_racing) [steeplechase](/source/Steeplechase_(horse_racing)) in Great Britain which is open to [horses](/source/Horse_racing) aged five years or older. It is run on the New Course at [Cheltenham](/source/Cheltenham_Racecourse) over a distance of about 3 miles and 1½ furlongs (3 miles 1 furlong and 156 yards, or 5,172 metres), and during its running there are twenty-one fences to be jumped. The race is scheduled to take place each year in January.

The race was first run in 1980 as the **Tote Double Chase**, later the **Timeform Hall of Fame Chase**. The event serves as a trial for the [Cheltenham Gold Cup](/source/Cheltenham_Gold_Cup), which takes place at the same venue in March. It is held during Festival Trials Day, which features several other trials for races at the [Cheltenham Festival](/source/Cheltenham_Festival). The event is registered as the Cotswold Chase, but it has usually been known by a sponsored title. The wine merchant Bibendum supported the race from 2010 to 2014, and its 2014 title promoted Argento, an Argentinian wine brand.[1] From 2015 to 2019 the race was sponsored by the BetBright bookmaking firm.[2] and since 2020 it has been sponsored by [Paddy Power](/source/Paddy_Power).
