Jezki Hurdle

The Jezki Hurdle, currently run as the Bottlegreen Hurdle, is a Grade 3 National Hunt hurdle race in Ireland which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Down Royal over a distance of about 2 miles and half a furlong (2 miles and 100 yards, or 3,310 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late October or early November.

The race was first run in 2001. It was awarded Grade 3 status in 2006 and further raised to Grade 2 status in 2010 but was downgraded to Grade 3 status in 2023. The race was previously run as the Anglo Irish Bank Hurdle and WKD Hurdle.
