The Leamington Novices' Hurdle, currently run under the sponsored title of the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle, is a Grade 2 National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run at Warwick over a distance of about 2 miles and 5 furlongs (4,225 metres), and during its running there are eleven hurdles to be jumped. The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year in January. It was first run in 2002. Since 2012 the race has been sponsored by Neptune Investment Management.
