The Castleford Chase is a National Hunt handicap steeplechase in England which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run over a distance of about one mile and seven furlongs (1m 7f 36y, or 3,050 metres) at Wetherby Racecourse on 27th December. There are thirteen fences to be jumped in the race.
The Castleford Chase's recent history has seen a number of changes in conditions and status. Until 1989 it was run as a limited handicap. In 1990 it was upgraded to a Grade 1 race and run as a conditions chase for the first time. From 1998 it reverted to a limited handicap and was downgraded to Grade 2 status. In 2006 it was replaced as a Grade 2 chase in the calendar by Kempton Park's newly inaugurated Desert Orchid Chase and became a handicap chase for horses rated between 0 and 145.
