Classic Chase

The Classic Chase is a Grade 3 National Hunt steeplechase in Great Britain which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run at Warwick over a distance of about 3 miles and 5 furlongs (3 miles 5 furlongs and 54 yards, or 5,883 metres), and during its running there are twenty-two fences to be jumped. It is a handicap race, and it is scheduled to take place each year in January.

The present event was introduced in 2004, although a similar race, the Warwick (Brooke Bond Oxo) National Chase, had been previously staged until 2000. As with its predecessor, the Classic Chase is usually contested by several horses which subsequently compete in the Grand National. The 2017 winner, One For Arthur, went on to win the Grand National.
