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 2024

The Albert Bartlett has been known to throw up some of the Cheltenham Festival’s biggest shocks and it did so again last year with Stellar Story. Sent off an unfancied 33-1 outsider, he dug deep to repel all of his rivals under Sam Ewing and agonisingly denied The Jukebox Man by a head. Dancing City, who went on to win Grade 1s at the Grand National meeting and Punchestown, was back in third. Stellar Story’s win means nine of the last ten Albert Bartlett winners have come at big prices.
