Albert Bartlett Novices HurdlebetHQ Tip Barters Hill has it all, a top rating, an unbeaten record and proven stayer credentials. He's very generously priced, so get him while he's still above Evens.

About the Race The 2 mile 179 yard Triumph Hurdle is perhaps the most prestigious novice hurdles event at the Cheltenham Festival. Entry is restricted to 4-year-olds and there are eight hurdles to be jumped in the race.

Despite being run over the same distance as the Champion Hurdle, surprisingly few winners of the Triumph Hurdle have gone on to win Cheltenham's 2 mile hurdles championship.
