The Classic Chase is a Premier Handicap National Hunt steeplechase in Great Britain which is open to horses aged five years or older.
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.
It was re-classified as a Premier Handicap from the 2023 running when Grade 3 status was renamed by the British Horseracing Authority.
