The Ascot Silver Cup is a Listed National Hunt race in Great Britain. It is a handicap steeplechase and is run at Ascot Racecourse in December, over a distance of 3 miles.
The race was first run in 1965 and was known as the SGB (sponsored by Scaffolding Great Britain) Chase until 1992. It was then known as the Betterware Cup between 1993 and 1998 inclusive.
The race has been known as the Silver Cup Handicap Chase (various sponsors) since 1999, but now lacks the prestige of its earlier days.
