The Dr P. J. Moriarty Novice Chase, currently known for sponsorship purposes as the Ladbrokes Novice Chase, is a Grade 1 National Hunt steeplechase in Ireland which is open to horses aged five years or older.
The name of Dr P. J. Moriarty Novice Chase (initially including the word "Memorial") was introduced in 1998, at which time the race was classed at Grade 2 level.
Since 2015 the race has been sponsored by Flogas Ireland Ltd and run for the Dr P. J. Moriarty Trophy.
[1] Winners of the event sometimes go on to compete in the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase in March.
Four horses have achieved victory in both races – Florida Pearl (1998), Cooldine (2009), Bostons Angel (2011) and Monkfish (2021).
