Normans Grove Chase


The Normans Grove Chase is a Grade 2 steeplechase National Hunt race in Ireland. It is run at Fairyhouse Racecourse over a distance of 2 miles and 1 furlong and it is scheduled to take place each year in March or April at the course's Easter Festival. The 2017 running was moved to a fixture in early April to avoid clashing with similar races at the Punchestown Festival. Prior to 2013 the race took place in January.

The race was first run in 1997. It was awarded Grade 3 status in 2004 and then raised to Grade 2 status the following year.

1 The 2008 race took place at Gowran Park.
