Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle: Cheltenham Festival 2021 Preview and Tips

Exclusive preview and tips for the Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival brought to you by the team at Star Sports. This race has a rich vein of unveiling future stars, with Bobs Worth, Unowhatimeanharry, Penhill, Minella Indo and Monkfish amongst the past ten winners.

STATTLER AND FAKIERA were third and fourth in a Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing’s Festival and both have to be considered the form horses here. ALAPHILIPPE’s wide margin win in the Prestige Novices’ Hurdle showed all the quantities that you’d want in a typical winner of this whilst BARBADOS BUCK’S has improved hand over first for Paul Nicholls. FAROUK D’ALENE’s hard fought defeat of VANILLIER suggested both would be ideal contenders for this test.
