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 sponsored for many years by the company owned by J. P. McManus's younger brother, Kevin McManus Bookmakers.
