The December Novices' Chase was a Grade 2 National Hunt steeplechase in Great Britain which was open to horses aged four years or older.
The race was for novice chasers, and it was scheduled to take place each year in December.
It was transferred to Doncaster by Arena Racing Company, the owner of both courses.
The Summit Juvenile Hurdle used to be contested on the same day at Lingfield but was transferred to Doncaster in 2010 – the two races were both run at the same meeting again until 2022.
[1] In April 2023 the British Horseracing Authority announced the removal of the race from the 2023/24 programme.
