The Morebattle Hurdle is a Class 2 National Hunt handicap hurdle race open to horses aged four years or older. It is run in early March at Kelso Racecourse in the Scottish Borders over a distance of 2 miles and 51 yards; there are eight hurdles to be jumped.[1]

The race was first run as a conditions contest in 1984 having previously been a handicap race. It was won four times in a row by Jinxy Jack until 1993, and was named in his honour for the 1994 renewal, when he finished third.[2] The race reverted to handicap status in 2021.
