The Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle is a Grade 1 run on day four of the Cheltenham Festival and is the ultimate test for the very best long-distance novice hurdlers, being run over 3m and with 12 hurdles to jump. Since it was first run in 2005, its most successful winner has been Bobs Worth, who went on to win the RSA Chase at the Cheltenham Festival the following year and the Cheltenham Gold Cup two years later.

WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR - ALBERT BARTLETT 2023

down

STAY AWAY FAY took a good step forward from his Doncaster Grade 2 second under a more positive ride this time. He was also aided by closest pursuer and favourite Corbetts Cross running out, but he was around a length to the good at the time. Affordale Fury had been well held at Grade 1 level at Naas in January but was a totally different proposition this time, outrunning huge odds with the step up in trip suiting.
