The Mersey Novices' Hurdle is a Grade One National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged four years or older.
The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year during the Grand National meeting in early April.
The distance of the race was cut by a furlong to its present length in 1988.
It has had several different sponsors since 1992, and the latest of these, Betway, began supporting the event in 2017.
The Mersey Novices' Hurdle was upgraded to Grade One by the British Horseracing Authority from its 2014 running.
