The 1965 Chase is a Grade 2 National Hunt steeplechase in Great Britain which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Ascot over a distance of about 2 miles and 5 furlongs (2 miles 5 furlongs and 13 yards, or 4,236 metres), and during its running there are seventeen fences to be jumped. The race is scheduled to take place each year in November.
The event is sponsored by Ladbrokes Coral, and it commemorates 1965, the inaugural year of jump racing at Ascot. It was established in 2006, and it was originally a limited handicap. It became a conditions race in 2009 and has previously been sponsored by Amlin, Stella Artois, Christy, CopyBet and Chanelle Pharma. Prior to 2015 it was run over 2 miles and 3 furlongs.
The race was run from 1994 to 2004 as the First National Gold Cup, a limited handicap over 2 miles and 4 furlongs which was restricted to horses in their first or second season of steeplechasing. Prior to this the race had been known as the H & T Walker Gold Cup.
