The Like A Butterfly Novice Chase is a Grade 3 National Hunt novice chase in Ireland which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Tipperary over a distance of 2 miles and 4 furlongs (4,023 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 is named after a horse owned by J. P. McManus, his Irish Champion Hurdle winning mare, Like A Butterfly. The race was previously named after another J. P. McManus owned horse, Grimes.
The race was sponsored for many years by the company owned by J. P. McManus's younger brother, Kevin McManus Bookmakers.
