The Badger Beer Handicap Chase is a Premier Handicap National Hunt steeplechase in England which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Wincanton over a distance of about 3 miles and 1 furlongs (3 miles, 1 furlong and 30 yards, or 5,029 metres), and during its running there are twenty-one fences to be jumped. It is a limited handicap race, and it is scheduled to take place each year in November.
The race was established in 1963. The first running took place in March 1963, but then moved to an October/November date. It was awarded Listed status in 2003. It was re-classified as a Premier Handicap from the 2022 running when Listed status was removed from handicap races.[1]
The race was run over a distance of 2 miles and 5 furlongs before 1990.
