The Navan Novice Hurdle is a Grade Two National Hunt race in Ireland. It is run in around the middle of December at Navan in Ireland, over a distance of 2 miles and 4 furlongs.
The race was first run in 1999 over a distance of 2 miles, before increasing to today's distance in 2000. It was originally run as a Grade 3 race, before being given Grade 1 status in 2004. It was downgraded again from the 2014 running.[1] The race is usually contested by some of the season's top novice hurdlers, who often go on to contest top races at both the Cheltenham Festival and the Punchestown Festival later in the season. Prior to 2010 it was run as the Barry & Sandra Kelly Memorial Novice Hurdle. A race with a similar title was run in 1998, but was not restricted to novices.
