The Turners Handicap Chase is a Premier Handicap National Hunt steeplechase in Great Britain which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run on the New Course at Cheltenham over a distance of about 3 miles and 2½ furlongs (5,230 metres). It is a handicap race, and is scheduled to take place each year in December.
The race was first run in 2003 and was awarded Grade 3 status in 2011. It has been run under various sponsored titles during its history. It was re-classified as a Premier Handicap from the 2022 running when Grade 3 status was renamed by the BHA.
