the '''Paddy Power New Year's Day Handicap Chase''', is a Grade 3 National Hunt steeplechase in Great Britain which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run on the New Course at Cheltenham over a distance of about 2 miles and 4½ furlongs (2 miles 4 furlongs and 127 yards, or 4,139 metres) and during its running there are 17 fences to be jumped. It is a handicap race, and is scheduled to take place each year on New Year's Day.

The race was first run in 1990 as the '''Cleeve Hill Handicap Chase''' and was awarded Grade 3 status in 2009.

From 2014 the race became officially known as the Fairlawne Chase, a name previously associated with a three-mile conditions chase run at Windsor until 1997.
