ABOUT THE betway SUMMER PLATE
The Betway Summer Plate is the highlight of racing’s Summer Jump Season, and is always run at Market Rasen in July over a distance of just less than 2 and Three Quarter Miles.
It is a fiercely competitive Handicap Chase, which always attracts a maximum field of runners from all over the land.
Trainer Peter Bowen has the most successful record. More Buck’s in 2018 was his sixth winner in a race he first won in 1997.
It was won last year by Casablanca Mix ridden by Nico de Boinville, who gave Champion Trainer Nicky Henderson his first win in the race.
The Plate is supported by the Summer Hurdle won in the last three years by horses trained in Wales, Scotland and England- 25 to 1 outsider Grapevine won the 2019 renewal.
