The Bridle Road Handicap Hurdle is a Premier Handicap National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged four years or older. It is run at Aintree over a distance of about 3 miles and ½ furlong (3 miles and 149 yards, or 4,964 metres), and during its running there are thirteen hurdles to be jumped. It is a handicap race, and it is scheduled to take place each year in early April at the Grand National meeting.

The race was promoted from Listed to Grade 3 status in 2010. In 2014 the race was run as the Dominican Republic Handicap Hurdle and in 2015 it carried the name of the Injured Jockeys Fund. Since 2016 it has been run under various sponsored titles.

The race was first run in 1985 as the Oddbins Handicap Hurdle, but this name was switched to the 2 miles 4 furlong race (now known as the Merseyrail Handicap Hurdle) in 1992.
