The Fort Leney Novice Chase, currently run as the Racing Post Long Distance Novice Chase, is a Grade 1 National Hunt steeplechase in Ireland. It is run over a distance of 3 miles (4,828 metres) at Leopardstown and during its running there are 17 fences to be jumped. It takes place annually during the Christmas Festival meeting.
The race was previously run as a Grade 3 and Grade 2 race, before being awarded Grade 1 status in 2003. The 2014 race was run as the Topaz Novice Chase. From 2015 to 2013 it was sponsored by Neville Hotels and usually took place on 29 December. In 2024 the Racing Post took over the sponsorship and the race was moved to St Stephen's Day.
