The Betfair Exchange "Fixed Brush" Handicap Hurdle is a Grade 3 National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Haydock Park over a distance of 3 miles (4,828 metres). It is a handicap race, and it is scheduled to take place each year in November.

This race features the use of Fixed Brush hurdles. These are based on the French hurdle design, similar to plain fences but lower in height. Unlike the traditional hurdle they are very rigid in construction.

The race was first run in 2005. It was awarded Grade 3 status in 2011. It has been sponsored by Betfair since its inception and the race title has changed to promote various Betfair websites and promotions. The race is currently run on the same day as the Betfair Chase.
