The Finesse Juvenile Hurdle is a Grade 2 National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged four years. It is run on the New Course at Cheltenham over a distance of about 2 miles and 1 furlong (2 miles and 179 yards, or 3,382 metres), and during its running there are eight hurdles to be jumped. The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year in January. The race is currently sponsored by JCB and run under the name of the JCB Triumph Trial Juvenile Hurdle – similar races of the same name also take place at Cheltenham's November and December meetings.

The race was first run in 1985 and winners of the race usually go on to participate in the Triumph Hurdle in March. Since 1989 three horses have achieved victory in both events – Katchit in 2007, Peace And Co in 2015 and Defi Du Seuil in 2017.
