Deloitte Novice Hurdle

Deloitte Novice Hurdle

The Deloitte Novice Hurdle is a Grade 1 National Hunt hurdle race in Ireland which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run at Leopardstown over a distance of about 2 miles and 2 furlongs (3,621 metres), and during its running there are nine hurdles to be jumped. The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year in February.

The race was established in 1987, and during its early years it was sponsored by Paddy Power and Le Coq Hardi. The current sponsor, Deloitte, has supported the event since 1992. The race continued as the Deloitte and Touche Novice Hurdle until 2003, and it has been known by its present title since 2004.

Winners of the Deloitte Novice Hurdle usually go on to compete in either the Supreme Novices' Hurdle or the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle. Those to have also achieved victory in one of those races are Danoli, Istabraq, Like-a-Butterfly and Brave Inca.
