Dolores Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle

The Dolores Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle is a Grade 3 National Hunt novice hurdle race in Ireland which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Tipperary over a distance of 2 miles (3,218 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in October.

The race was awarded Grade 3 status in 2003.

In line with several races at Tipperary, the race was previously named after a horse owned by J. P. McManus, Joe Mac.

The race was first run in 1997 and was sponsored for many years by the company owned by J. P. McManus's younger brother, Kevin McManus Bookmakers.
