The Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris is a Group 1 steeplechase in France which is open to horses aged five years or older.
It is the richest and most prestigious jumps race in France, and it is scheduled to take place each year in late May.
The basic weights were subsequently modified several times, and the penalty was gradually reduced until it was eventually discontinued.
The three most successful horses in the race's history are Hyeres III, Katko and Mid Dancer, who have all recorded three victories.
Twelve foreign-trained horses have won, the latest of which was Mandarin in 1962, trained in England by Fulke Walwyn.
