WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR - ALBERT BARTLETT 2025
Willie Mullins trained a fourth straight winner on Gold Cup day when Jasmin De Vaux landed the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle. Jasmin De Vaux won the Champion Bumper the previous season but had been beaten on his previous two starts before the Albert Bartlett. He relished the step up to 3m, though, and scored by two and a half lengths under Paul Townend.
