The Formby Novices' Hurdle is a Grade 1 National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged three years or older. It is run at Aintree over a distance of about 2 miles and half a furlong (2 miles and 103 yards, or 3,312 metres), and during its running there are eight hurdles to be jumped. The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year in December. From 2011 to 2018 the race was sponsored by online casino 32Red and was run as the 32Red Hurdle between 2011 and 2013. Since 2023 it has been sponsored by William Hill

The race was first run in 1976 at Sandown Park and was originally named the Tolworth Novices' Hurdle. Since December 2023 the race has been run on Boxing Day at Aintree and open to horses aged three years and older as part of changes to the National Hunt pattern.[1]
