The Dipper Novices' Chase was a Grade 2 National Hunt chase in Great Britain which was run annually from 1980 until 2023. In April of the latter year, the British Horseracing Authority announced the removal of the Dipper from the programme from the 2023/24 season onwards.[1]
The race was open to novice chasers aged five years or older.
Before 2005 the event was usually run at Newcastle in mid January. Its distance at this venue was 2 miles and 4 furlongs (4,023 metres), and there were sixteen fences to jump. Prior to the 1990–91 season it took place in November.
After 2005, it was scheduled to take place each year on New Year's Day on the New Course at Cheltenham over a distance of about 2 miles and 4½ furlongs (2 miles 4 furlongs and 127 yards or 4,175 metres), and during its running there were seventeen fences to be jumped.
Winners
- ^ The race was abandoned twice in 2003 – firstly at Newcastle (waterlogging), and then at Haydock Park (frost)
- ^ The 2004 running at Newcastle was cancelled because of frost
- ^ The 2013 running was abandoned because of waterlogging
- ^ The 2021 race took place at Wincanton after the original Cheltenham fixture was abandoned due to waterlogging
