The Spa Novices' Hurdle, known for sponsorship reasons as the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle, is a Grade 1 race 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, now known as the Brown Advisory Chase, at the Cheltenham Festival the following year and the Cheltenham Gold Cup two years later.

WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR - ALBERT BARTLETT 2025

down

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.
