The Premier Novices' Hurdle (renamed in 2020 from the Premier Kelso Hurdle[1]) is a Grade 2 National Hunt hurdle race in Britain which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Kelso over a distance of about 2 miles and 2 furlongs (2 miles, 2 furlongs and 25 yards or 3,644 metres), and there are ten hurdles to be jumped. As of 2024, it is the only Graded race in the British Jump Pattern programme to be run over this distance.[2] The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year in late February or early March.
The race was first run in 1990 and was awarded Grade 2 status (previously Class B) in 2003.
