Open Military Handicap Chase

The Open Military Handicap Chase over 3 miles was first staged at the 1924 Festival when won by Ruddy Glow, who repeated the success the next year. The horse was well thought of, being sent off favourite in the 1926 Gold Cup where he ran third. The Open Military Handicap Chase was dropped from the card after the 1926 running.
