Mandarin Handicap Chase

The Mandarin Handicap Chase is a National Hunt handicap chase in England which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Newbury over a distance of 3 miles and 2½ furlongs (5,331 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year at the end of December.

The race was first run in 1963 and two of the first three runnings were won by Mill House, carrying high weights. In the 1980s it held Listed status, but it is now an ordinary handicap.
