The Topham Chase is a Grade 3 National Hunt handicap chase in England which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run at Aintree over a distance of 2 miles and 5½ furlongs (4,325 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in April.

Contents

From 1989 to 2001 the race was named to commemorate the late clerk of the course John Hughes.

In April 2012 the race was won by Always Waining, trained by Peter Bowen ridden by Tom O'Brien. It was his third consecutive winning of the race.
