The Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle is the third race run on the last day of the Cheltenham Festival, run over three miles. There are many trials for the Albert Bartlett run over the course of the National Hunt season, but be wary that many horses hold dual entries at the Cheltenham Festival for this race run over three miles and the Neptune Novices' Hurdle run over two and a half miles.
