The Killiney Novice Chase is a Grade 3 National Hunt chase in Ireland. It is currently run at Punchestown Racecourse in early January, over a distance of about 2 miles and 3½ furlongs (2 miles, 3 furlongs and 146 yards).

The race was run at Leopardstown Racecourse over a distance of 2 miles and 3 furlongs from its first running in 1995 to 2017. The race changed venues in 2018 due to the creation of the Leopardstown Dublin Festival.

Prior to 2010 the race was titled the Paddy Fitzpatrick Memorial Novice Chase. In 2010 it was called the MCR Chase, in 2011 it was called Tote Pick Six Killiney Novice Chase and in 2012 and 2013 the race was sponsored by Boylesports and run as the Boylesports.com Bet On Your Mobile Novice Chase. Boylesports continued to sponsor the race in 2013 when the title reverted to the Killiney Novice Chase. From 2016 it was sponsored by the Ladbrokes Coral bookmaking group. It was downgraded from Grade 2 to Grade 3 in 2017. [2] The race was sponsored by Total Event Rental for the 2018 and 2019 runnings.[ citation needed ] There was no race sponsor in 2020.
