Spa Novices' Hurdle

The Spa Novices' Hurdle, known for sponsorship purposes as the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle, is a Grade 1 National Hunt hurdle race in Great Britain which is open to horses aged five years or older.

The race is for novice hurdlers, and it is scheduled to take place each year during the Cheltenham Festival in March.

It was one of several new races introduced at the Festival when a fourth day was added to the meeting in 2005.

For its first three runnings the event was sponsored by Brit Insurance, and it was classed at Grade 2 level.

The vegetable growing company Albert Bartlett began supporting the race in 2008, and since then it has held Grade 1 status.
